    The subtalar joint is formed by the talus bone above and the calcaneus bone below. It has three plane articulations - posterior, anterior, and middle. Between the articulations is the tarsal canal, a funnel-shaped bony tunnel that runs obliquely across the foot. The tarsal canal has a large end called the sinus tarsi anterior to the fibular malleolus and a small end called the sustentaculum tali behind the tibial malleolus. The subtalar joint is stabilized by several ligaments, including the cervical ligament within the tarsal canal.

    SUBTALAR JOINT

    NOHIYA DEVKAR
    ROLL NO. 2108
    2ND YEAR BPTH
    ARTICULATING SURFACES
    • Also known as talocalcaneal joint.
    • The articulating surfaces are highly variable.
    • Formed by 2 bones – talus (superiorly) and calcaneus (inferiorly).
    • Composite joint formed by 3 plane articulations - posterior , anterior ,
    middle
    ARTICULATIONS

    • Posterior articulation :- concave facet of talus and convex facet of calcaneus.


    • Anterior and middle articulations :- 2 convex facets of talus and 2 concave
    facets of calcaneus.
    TARSAL CANAL

    • Between posterior and anterior and middle articulations


    • Bony tunnel formed by sulcus in inferior talus and superior calcaneus.
    • It is funnel shaped tunnel .
    • Runs obliquely across the foot .
    SINUS TARSI

    • Large end of tarsal canal.


    • Lies anterior to fibular malleolus.
    SUSTENTACULUM TALI

    • Small end of tarsal canal.


    • Lies posteriorly below tibial malleolus.
    LIGAMENTS

    • Calcaneofibular ligament
    • Cervical ligament
    • Interosseous talocalcaneal ligament
    • Inferior extensor retinaculum
    • Cervical ligament :- strongest ligament , lies anterior sinus tarsi and joins neck
    of talus to the neck of calcaneus
    • Interosseous talocalcaneal ligament:- lies medially within tarsal canal .
    • Inferior extensor retinaculum :- Provide stability to the subtalar superficially
