Supracalcaneal-navicular bone

The talonavicular bone is a small bone in the foot, located between the talus and navicular bones. It plays an important role in maintaining stability and balance when walking and running.

The Supracalcaneal-Navicular bone consists of two parts: the supracalcaneal and supra-navicular. The supracalcaneal part is located on the upper surface of the foot, and the supranavicular part is located on the lower surface of the foot. Both parts are connected to each other by fiber fabric, which provides stability and support for the foot.

The functions of the supracalcaneal-navicular bone include:

  1. Providing stability and support to the foot: The supracalcaneal bone plays an important role in stabilizing the foot and its ability to bear the load of walking and running. It also helps maintain the correct position of the foot and prevents it from falling to the side.
  2. Participation in the movement of the foot: The supranavicular bone is involved in the movement of the foot, allowing it to rotate and flex. This allows the foot to adapt to different surfaces and walking conditions.
  3. Participation in the formation of the arch of the foot: the supracalcaneal and supranavicular bones are involved in the formation of the arch of the foot, which is an important part of the human musculoskeletal system. It provides shock absorption and shock absorption when walking and running, reducing stress on joints and muscles.
  4. Involvement in metabolism: The supracalcaneal-supravavicular complex of bones is involved in metabolism, including the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. This is important for maintaining healthy bones and joints.
  5. Involved in balance and coordination of movements: The supracalcaneal bone is involved in balance and coordination of movements, ensuring the proper functioning of the muscles and joints of the foot.
  6. Involvement in Foot Development: The supracalcaneal bone plays an important role in foot development, helping to form a proper arch and bone structure.
