What is the name of the bone of the foot that joins the tibia and fibula?
The Talus bone articulates with the Tibia, and Fibula.
What is the name of the bone in the lower leg between the knee and ankle?
It is one of the tarsal bones called calcaneous_____________________________I would argue that the talus is the bone of the foot that connects with the leg.The tibial plafond, together with the lateral malleolus of the fibula, articulate with the talus (a tarsal bone). The talus then in turn articulates with the calcaneous.
What bones form a joint with the ankle?
There is no joint with the ankle. The joint is the ankle.There are three bones that make up the ankle joint. The joint of the ankle is made up of the Tibia and Fibula bones descending from the lower leg, and the Talus Tarsal bone of the upper foot/ankle.
What is the bone in the foot under the fibula called?
The talus.
What is the only bone in the foot that has no muscle attached to it?
talus
What are the bones on the top of the foot called?
The bone that connects your foot to your leg is called the Talus. Next to the Talus is a foot bone that is called the Navicular. Your heel bone is called the Calcaneus. Your toes are also known as Metatarsal bones. The Talus is the bone of which your Tibia(front of your shin) and your Fibula(behind your Tibia) rest on, letting your feet keep you up and balanced and letting you move from place to place. These are all the bones that are in your foot.
What is the name of the bone if the foot that joins with the tibia and fibula?
talus
What is top of foot called?
If you consider which bone bears the most weight, it would be the talus.
The largest tarsal bones in the body?
The largest tarsal bone in the human body is the calcaneus, or heel bone.
What type of joint is the tibiofemoral joint?
Proximally (towards the hip) the femur articulates (attaches to) the acetabulum which is made up of all three hip bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. Distally (towards the foot) the femur articulates with the the tibia and fibula.
Subchondral insufficiency fracture of the talar head?
I think it would be best to just break this down....subchondral..........situated beneath cartilage insufficiency..........inability of an organ or body part to function normally fracture.............the act or process of breaking or the state of being broken and or the breaking of hard tissue (as bone) Fractures of the Talar Head Talus fractures are relatively uncommon injuries, but can be associated with significant complications. The talus is involved in about 2% of all lower extremity injuries and about 5-7% of foot injuries. It is the most important bone of the foot to stabilize and mobilize soon after injury. Talus fractures are usually associated with hyperdorsiflexion of the ankle as the talar neck impacts the anterior margin of the tibia, such as in a motor vehicle accident or fall from height. The talus articulates superiorly with the tibia and fibula in the ankle mortise and the calcaneous and navicular inferiorly. Body weight is transmitted through the tibia to the superior surface of the talus. The anterior portion of the body is wider than the posterior portion giving stability to the ankle. The neck of the talus connects to the head which connects to the navicular and calcaneous and is the most vulnerable to fracture. The talus has no muscular or tendinous attachments, but has a groove for the flexor hallicus longus tendon. The majority of the talus is covered by articular cartilage. It articulates with the spring ligament inferiorly, the sustentaculum tali posteroinferiorly and the deltoid ligament medially.
What is a 7 letter word that means ankle bone?
Ankle bone is usually "tarsus." The seven bones of the human tarsus form the ankle and upper part of the foot. They are the talus, calcaneus, navicular, and cuboid and the three cuneiform bones. None of them have seven letters.
