(The calcaneus and talus have been removed at the so-called articulatio tarsi transversa 

 [Choparti]. The os metatarsale I has been completely excised, the ossa metatarsalia II V 

 have been sawed through in the middle; the capsulae articulares, with the exception of the 



strengthening ligaments, have been removed.) 



Articulatioiies intertarseae (continued). Ligamenta tarsi plantaria (continued). 

 The lig amentum cuboideonaviculare plantare (see also Figs. 268 and 269) stretches out be- 

 tween the plantar surfaces of the os cuboideum and the os naviculare. The ligamenta navicu- 

 laricuneiformia plantaria (see also Figs. 265 and 268) are three short bands of fibres passing 

 directly or obliquely forward, which extend from the plantar surface of the os naviculare to 

 the plantar surfaces of the ossa cuneiformia. The two ligamenta intercuneiformia plantaria 

 run as short fibre bundles transversely between the plantar surfaces of the ossa cuneiformia. 

 The lig amentum cuneocuboideum plantare goes as a broad band from the under surface of 

 the os cuneiforme III obliquely lateralward and backward to the plantar surface of the os 

 cuboideum. 



The articulationes tarsometatarseae [Lisfranci] (see also pp. 221 and 227) have 

 plantarwards a large number of stengthening ligaments, ligamenta tarsometatarsea plantaria, 

 which, partly shorter, partly longer, run on the plantar surface from the ossa cuneiformia and 

 from the os cuboideum to the bases ossium metatarsalium. 



The articulationes intermetatarseae (see also pp. 221 and 227) are strengthened 

 plantarward by three ligamenta basium [ossium metatarsalium] plantaria (see also Fig. 268) 

 which spread out on the plantar surface transversely between the proximal ends of the second 

 to the fifth metatarsal bone.
