Anterior Talocalcaneal Ligament

The anterior talocalcaneal ligament (anterior calcaneo-astragaloid ligament) extends from the front and lateral surface of the neck of the talus to the superior surface of the calcaneus.

It forms the posterior boundary of the talocalcaneonavicular joint, and is sometimes described as the anterior interosseous ligament.

Famous quotes containing the word anterior:

    “But now moments surround us
    Like a crowd, some inquisitive faces, some hostile ones,
    Some enigmatic or turned away to an anterior form of time
    Given once and for all. The jetstream inscribes a final flourish
    That melts as it stays.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
