From: Significance of the anatomical relationship between the flexor digitorum longus and sustentaculum tali for reconsideration of the talocalcaneonavicular joint stability mechanism

Figure 2

Three-dimensional positional relationships between the flexor tendons and sustentaculum tali. Posteromedial (a) and posterior (b) aspects of the right foot. The tibialis posterior (TP) and flexor digitorum longus (FDL) in (a) are transparent to show the appearance of the sustentaculum tali (star). Arrows in (a) indicate the inferior margin of the sustentaculum tali. The FDL runs along the inferomedial part of the sustentaculum tali and is directed to the lateral side of the foot after passing through it. Cal calcaneus, FHL flexor hallucis longus, Nav navicular, Tal talus, Tib tibia, Lat lateral, Post posterior, Sup superior.
