Ligament Talocalcaneal Lateral

Lateral talocalcaneal ligament The ligament connects the upper part of the talus and the calcaneus. They are responsible for maintaining the correct shape of the arch of the foot and ensuring the normal functioning of the muscles and tendons of the foot, as well as the motor activity of the joints of the leg. There are four main groups of foot ligaments located in the foot, along the medial part of the foot from the inside (medial) to the outside (lateral): anterior, middle and posterior talus and plantar. The talus has not only medial, but also lateral attachment points for the three posterior ligaments of the foot (tritarnbular). Talus-digital-calcaneal ligaments These ligaments connect the talus bone and the head of the talus calcaneus, thanks to them the foot maintains its normal shape. There is a calcaneal and talus attachment for these ligaments. Their ruptures are a fairly common pathology, which is due to the significant tension of these ligaments during movements.

The ligaments of the talus perform a number of important functions: - provide stability of support, reducing the movements of the talus and calcaneus; - regulate the biomechanics of the foot;

Among foot diseases associated with pathologies of the ligamentous apparatus, one can note: instability of the ankle joint, habitual dislocation, Haglund's disease, neuritis of the plantar nerve, damage to articular and periarticular tissues. With pathology of this type of joint, pain in the joint and nearby areas, difficulty walking, and a special eroded sensation when resting on the heels are possible.

In sports and medicine, with foot injuries, the supporting function may be impaired due to damage to the posterior and anterior talocalcaneal ligaments, or damage to one of them. Sometimes even a seemingly minor injury to this ligament leads to noticeable changes in the movement of the foot and, as a result, unpleasant
