Great Tarsal Joint
the great tarsal joint is separated by these 4 interosseous ligaments?
a. Interosseous Cuboideonavicular Ligament
b. Lisfranc’s Ligament / Medial Interosseous Tarsometatarsal Ligament
c. Interosseous Cuneocuboid Ligament
d. Lateral Interosseous Tarsometatarsal Ligament
great tarsal joint interosseous ligament
- separates the great tarsal joint from the functional midtarsal joint
Interosseous Cuboideonavicular Ligament
great tarsal joint interosseous ligament
- separates the great tarsal joint from the medial tarsometatarsal joint
Lisfranc’s Ligament / Medial Interosseous Tarsometatarsal Ligament
great tarsal joint interosseous ligament
- separates the great tarsal joint from the lateral tarsometatarsal joint
interosseous cuneocuboid ligament
great tarsal joint interosseous ligament
- separates the great tarsal joint from the lateral tarsometatarsal joint
Lateral Interosseous Tarsometatarsal Ligament
movement of the subtalar joint?
pronation and supination
name this functional joint:
- forms the Cyma line on lateral view radiographs
- normally a single smooth S-shaped curve
- a tri-planar joint
- movement: pronation and supination
Midtarsal Joint (MTJ) / Transverse Tarsal Joint or Chopart’s Joint
name this functional joint:
- a biplanar joint
- little motion present normally
- movement: adduction/abduction and dorsiflexion/plantar flexion
Tarsometatarsal Joint / Lisfranc’s Joint
- forms a boundary of the great tarsal joint
Interosseous Cuboideonavicular Ligament
- support the transverse arch of the foot
Interosseous Intercuneiform Ligaments
- from the non-articular lateral surface of the medial cuneiform to the non-articular medial surface of the intermediate cuneiform
first interosseous intercuneiform ligament
- from the non-articular lateral surface of the intermediate cuneiform to the
non-articular medial surface of the lateral cuneiform
second interosseous intercuneiform ligament
- supports the transverse arch of the foot
- forms a boundary for the great tarsal joint
Interosseous Cuneocuboid Ligament
- lies plantar to the 2nd dorsal tarsometatarsal ligament
- an important ligament
- provides stability to Lisfranc’s joint
- forms a boundary for the great tarsal joint
Lisfranc’s Ligament / medial interosseous tarsometatarsal ligament /
first interosseous tarsometatarsal ligament
