the ankle joint. Now, let’s have a look at the
joints of the foot. Look at the talocalcaneal
joint. This is an important joint between the
talus superiorly and the calcaneus inferiorly.
00:12
Here, we can see we have the subtalar joint,
and we have the talocalcaneonavicular joint,
a whole series of joints which are sitting
within the foot. We’re just going to concentrate
on the talocalcaneal foot. The joints of the foot
involve the tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges.

And this important joint, the talocalcaneal
joint, also known as the subtalar joint, which
we can just see here. So this is going to
be calcaneus and that’s going to articulate
with the talus here - subtalar because it’s
below the talus. The talus articulates with
the calcaneus at this joint and it has a weak
joint capsule reinforced by the strong interosseous
talocalcaneal ligaments. And here we can see
some strong talocalcaneal ligament running
from the talus to the calcaneal bone. We also
have the transverse tarsal joint.
01:15
So here, we can see the transverse tarsal joint, and
that is running consisting of the talocalcaneonavicular
and the calcaneocuboid joints. So we have
a whole series of joints that are running
transversely across the tarsal joint. We have
the talocalcaneonavicular joint. We see that
running here and here between the talus, the
calcaneus, and the navicular bones, and this
also is supported by a number of interconnecting
ligaments. And the ligaments are determined
by the names on the bone. Here, we can see
we have the talocalcaneonavicular joint.
