Ligament Talocalcaneal Interosseous

The talocalcaneal interosseous ligament (lat. lig. talocalcaneum interosseum) is a ligament between the talus and calcaneus, which provides stability to the ankle joint and prevents displacement of the talus relative to the calcaneus. This ligament is important for the normal functioning of the ankle joint as it holds the talus bone in the correct position and provides stability to the foot when walking and running.

The talocalcaneal interosseous ligament consists of two main components: the talonavicular ligament (lig. talonaviculare) and the plantar-talar ligament (lig. calcaneotibiale). The talonavicular ligament connects the talus and navicular bones, and the plantar-talar ligament runs from the calcaneus to the base of the talus. Both ligaments have a fibrous structure and are composed of collagen, elastin and other proteins.

The importance of the talocalcaneal interosseous ligament is that it plays a key role in maintaining ankle stability. If this ligament is damaged or weakened, instability and dysfunction of the ankle joint can occur, which can lead to various diseases such as ankle sprain, talonavicular tear, heel spur and others.

To restore and strengthen the talocalcaneal interosseous ligament, various treatment methods are used, such as physiotherapy, massage, therapeutic exercises, and surgical interventions. If the ligament is torn or damaged, it can be repaired through surgery. However, the best way to prevent damage to this ligament is prevention. To do this, it is necessary to strengthen the muscles and ligaments of the ankle joint through regular training and exercises, as well as choosing the right shoes and avoiding foot injuries.

**The talocalcaneal interosseous ligament (ligamentum talocalcaneum interosseum)** is presented in the form of a cord connecting the cuboid and calcaneal bones from below, and enters the longitudinal interarticular vestibule of the ankle joint. The lower ends of the ligament provide immobility of the talus when the foot is flexed, and the upper ends fasten the articulating surfaces of the talus and fibula. Preservation of the sacroiliac ligament is critical to hip stability. In women and men it is the same in length. But the thickness of beautiful ladies is greater, since men bear the burden of bearing the fetus. From the beginning of the talocalcaneal interosseous ligament, the digital fascia diverges downwards, connecting the foot with the bones of the lower leg. The tibia attaches to the ischial tuberosity through the greater sciatic foramen.
