The calcaneocuboid joint is conventionally described as among the least mobile joints in the human foot. The articular surfaces of the two bones are relatively flat with some irregular undulations, which seem to suggest movement limited to a single rotation and some translation.
It is a synovial articulation between the calcaneus and the cuboid bones of the foot. The calcaneocuboid joint involves the anterior surface of the calcaneus and the posterior surface of the cuboid. Its joint capsule is thickened superiorly and also inferiorly 1. It is a modified saddle-type joint.
The calcaneocuboid joint is part of the mid-tarsal (Chopart) joint. It is a synovial articulation between the calcaneus and the cuboid bones of the foot.
The calcaneocuboid joint is a saddle joint and plays a role in movements such as inversion, eversion, and circumduction of the foot. The bones are held together by a fibrous capsule, strengthened by the dorsal and plantar calcaneocuboid ligaments and the long plantar ligament.
The calcaneocuboid part attaches to the dorsomedial surface of the cuboid bone whilst the calcaneonavicular part attaches to the dorsolateral aspect of the navicular bone. The longest ligament associated with the tarsus is known as the long plantar ligament .
The calcaneocuboid joint (Latin: articulatio calcaneocuboidea) is a synovial saddle type articulation between the tarsal bones of the foot. This joint is located between the calcaneus and cuboid bone .
The calcaneocuboid articulation is the joint between the calcaneus and the cuboid bone. The ligaments connecting the calcaneus with the cuboid are five in number: the dorsal calcaneocuboid ligament, part of the bifurcated ligament, the long plantar ligament, and the plantar calcaneocuboid ligament; the articular capsule
The calcaneocuboid joint is a synovial joint classified as a plane joint due to the relatively flat surfaces of the articulating bones. The joint is covered by a fibrous capsule lined with a synovial membrane.
The calcaneocuboid joint is a saddle-shaped joint between the anterior process of the calcaneus and the proximal pole of the cuboid. It is convex vertically and concave transversely. The axis of the joint is 52° (range 43° to 72°) from anterosuperior to posteroinferior [7] .
Understanding the anatomy of the calcaneocuboid (CCJ) remains essential when selecting staple fixation to optimize osseous purchase during rearfoot procedures. This anatomic study quantitatively describes the CCJ in relation to staple fixation sites.
