The subtalar joint: embryology and morphology.

A Viladot, J C Lorenzo, J Salazar

    Foot & Ankle
    |September 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details the subtalar joint anatomy, including its embryology and varied anterior joint shapes. Ligamentous structures and microscopic fiber details are clarified to resolve anatomical confusion.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Embryology
    • Histology

    Background:

    • The subtalar joint is a recently evolved anatomical structure.
    • The anterior subtalar joint exhibits variable morphology, classified into ovoid, bean, and two-part descriptions.
    • Existing literature presents confusion regarding subtalar joint ligamentous anatomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a clear and comprehensive description of subtalar joint ligament anatomy.
    • To elucidate the form and function of key ligaments: retinacula, cervical ligament, and ligament of the canal.
    • To investigate the microscopic anatomy of these ligaments, focusing on innervation and fiber structure.

    Main Methods:

    • Embryological analysis to understand the joint's evolutionary status.
    • Morphological examination of the anterior subtalar joint.
    • Detailed anatomical dissection and description of ligaments.
    • Histological examination of ligamentous tissue, including innervation and fiber analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The subtalar joint is identified as a recently acquired structure based on embryological data.
    • Three distinct anatomical morphologies (ovoid, bean, two-part) are confirmed for the anterior subtalar joint.
    • Detailed descriptions of the retinacula, cervical ligament, and ligament of the canal are provided.
    • Microscopic analysis reveals specific innervation patterns and fiber arrangements within the studied ligaments.

    Conclusions:

    • A clearer understanding of subtalar joint anatomy, particularly its ligaments, is established.
    • The study addresses and aims to resolve existing confusion in the literature regarding subtalar joint morphology and ligamentous structures.
    • This detailed anatomical description provides a foundation for further research and clinical understanding of the subtalar joint.
