Midfoot: lateral, intermediate, & medial. Sit in front of the navicular bone, articulate within the navicular bone and the 1st 3 medial metatarsals respectively

Cuboid

Midfoot: articulates with navicular bone, calcaneus, and metatarsals 4 & 5

Recoil during gait for pushoff

Lateral longitudinal arch

Flat-in contact with the ground at all times during gait

Spring ligament

calcaneal-navicular ligament: from calcaneus to navicular bone, thick, supports medial arch.


Ankle sprain/inversion can damage this

Long plantar ligament

calcaneus to cuboid & 3rd & 5th met heads: supports lateral arch, gives arch rigidity

Interosseous membrane

thick membrane connecting the tibia and fibula along the shaft

Talocrural Joint

Ankle joint.


Tibia, fibula, talus-at trochlea of talus, hinge synovial joint, known as malleolar mortise, tibia and fibula sit on the talus and the ligaments of the interosseous membrane grasp the talus, for plantarflexion and dorsiflexion.
