268. Joints of the right foot, articulationes pedis, 



viewed from the sole of the foot. 



(The ossa metatarsalia have been sawed through in the middle, the capsulae articulares with 

 the exception of the strengthening ligaments have been removed.) 



Articulationes intertarseae (continued). Their capsules are strengthened in the sole 

 of the foot by the ligamenta tarsi planlaria; the strongest of them is the lif/amentum plantare 

 lonqvm (0. T. long calcaneocuboid or long plantar ligament) (see also Fig. 269). It is very 

 broad and powerful, arises from the lower surface of the calcaneus in front of the tuber calcanei 

 and extends with its main mass to the tuberositas ossis cuboidei. As a continuation of its 

 most superficial bundles it sends thin diverging fibrous strips to the proximal ends of the ossa 

 metatarsalia which bridges over the groove for the tendon of the m. peronaeus longus.
