The articular capsule should be opened anteriorly and poste- 

 riorly after it has been cleaned. When opened, a good view of 

 the interior of the joint may be had and the remaining ligaments 

 more easily defined. 



Study sagittal and frontal sections through this joint on 

 preparations in the anatomical museum; examine closely the 

 relations of the ligaments and the folds of the capsule to the 

 joint-cavity. 



Clean away all the muscles and tendons upon the foot, after
