tarsal joint

Unlike other joints, the drugs can be repeatedly injected into the lower tarsal joints as needed.

The tarsal joint of the equine hind leg, located midway between the horse's body and the ground.

Chopart's amputation": Separation of the forefoot at the mid tarsal joint. "

But later experts looked again at the 'knees'(actually its 'ankle' tarsal joints) and at other parts of its anatomy.

I stared at it intently, appalled by the smooth glistening articular surfaces of the tibio tarsal joint.

"Chopart's joint" or the transverse tarsal joint: Articulation between the hindfoot and the midfoot.

Though they walked upright and had hands like men, their ankles, or tarsal joints, were the hocks of quadru- ped animals with cloven hooves.

Pressure points may be caused when the radius of curvature of the limb is small (e.g. across lateral metatarsal/tarsal joints).

From the enlargement three minute interosseous branches are given off, which supply the tarsal joints and the metatarsophalangeal joints of the second, third, and fourth toes.

While the pale 'morph' young just prior to leaving the nest usually have unmarked tarsus, they soon get spots on the front part of the tibio tarsal joint.

Along with the transverse tarsal joint (i.e. talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joint), the subtalar joint transforms tibial rotation into forefoot supination and pronation.

The talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints (i.e. between the talus and navicular bones, and the calcaneus and cuboid bones) form the so-called transverse tarsal joint or Chopart's joint.

The human transverse tarsal joint of the midfoot transmits forces from the subtalar joint in the hindfoot to the forefoot joints (metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal) and associated bones (metatarsals and phalanges).

Modern horses retain the splint bones; they are often believed to be useless attachments, but they in fact play an important role in supporting the carpal joints (front knees) and even the tarsal joints (hocks).

While the tarsometatarsi were more fused than in Archaeopteryx, the fibula was long and reached the distal point of the tarsal joint, not reduced as in more modern birds (and some non-avian theropods like Avimimus).

Movement at the fifth metatarsal – fourth distal tarsal joint does not contribute to movement of the fifth digit during grasping, although the fifth metatarsal plays a passive role in grasping by acting as a pulley around which certain tendons pass.

The transverse tarsal joint or midtarsal joint or Chopart's joint is formed by the articulation of the calcaneus with the cuboid (the calcaneocuboid joint), and the articulation of the talus with the navicular (the talocalcaneonavicular joint).

Sapeornis exhibits a combination of derived and primitive features, including a short, robust non-strut-like coracoid and a fibula reaching the distal end of the tarsal joint (as in Archaeopteryx), a pygostyle, reduced manual digits, and a well-fused carpometacarpus (as in more advanced birds).

The movement which takes place in this joint is more extensive than that in the other tarsal joints, and consists of a sort of rotation by means of which the foot may be slightly flexed or extended, the sole being at the same time carried medially (inverted) or laterally (everted).
