The _ligamentum tibio-fibulare_ extends from the head of the fibula, or
capitulum fibulæ, to the inner surface of the external crest, or crista
externa tibiæ, of the tibia (Fig. 25, No. 3).
The _ligamentum interosseum_ is a delicate ligament located between the
tibia and fibula (Fig. 25, No. 4) which very early becomes ossified.
=Ligaments of the Tibio-metatarsal Joint= (Fig. 16).—The tibio-tarsal
joint is made up of the tibia and metatarsus.
The _ligamentum capsulare ossis tibio-metatarsi_ connects the tibia and
the metatarsus and surrounds the joint (Fig. 16, Nos. _A_, 7 and _C_,
7).
The _ligamentum externum_, a long strong ligament, originates on the
upper and outer surface of the external condyle, or condylus externus of
the tibia and is attached to the upper rim of the os metatarsi (Fig. 23,
No. 15).
The _ligamentum anticum_ is spread out between the fossa
intercondyloidea of the tibia and the tuberculum ossis metatarsi of the
proximal end of the metatarsus (Fig. 16, No. _C_, 3). Just posterior to
this ligament, there is an interosseous ligament, the _ligamentum
interosseum_.
A semi-lunar pad of fibrous cartilage, the _cartilago semi-lunaris_ is
located between the outer distal extremity of the tibia and upper
articular surface of the metatarsus (Fig. 16, No. _C_, 6). Its concave
portion is directed anteriorly and receives an insertion from the
ligamentum externum, or external ligament.
The tendon Achillis (Fig. 16, No. _A_, 1) may become ossified.
=Ligaments of the Toes= (Fig. 16).—In addition to the capsular
ligaments, which all true joints have, we find the following in
connection with the toes:
The _ligamentum superius_ and the _ligamentum inferius_ connect the
second toe with the great toe, or hallux.
