Gross anatomy

The talonavicular joint primarily consists of the articulation between the head of the talus and the concavity produced by the posterior aspect of the navicular. This arciulationarticulation is facilitated by the talonavicular ligament, a broad, thin band that covered by the extensor tendons, and the plantar calcaneonavicular (spring) ligament. It is also described as contributing to the transverse tarsal joint along with the calcaneocuboid joint to serve as the junction between the midfoot and hindfoot.
