Joints of left ankle and foot
Joints of foot opened and viewed from above
The intertarsal, tarsometatarsal and intermetatarsal joints have been opened by incising the ligaments and capsules of these joints. The adjoining bones have been pulled apart to demonstrate the internal configuration of the various cavities. Interosseous ligaments between the bases of the metatarsals (10), between the cuneiform bones (13), and between the lateral cuneiform and the cuboid bone (3) have also been divided. The interior of the tarsometatarsal joint of the first toe is also illustrated in view 202-4.
