ABSTRACT

The inferior surface has an anterior tubercle to which is attached the short plantar ligament and, posteriorly, the medial and lateral processes on the weightbearing tuberosity, to which are attached the long plantar ligament, the short muscles of the sole and the plantar aponeurosis. On the lateral surface is the peroneal (fibular) tubercle, separating the tendons of peroneus (fibularis) longus and brevis. The posterior surface gives attachment to the tendocalcaneus and the anterior surface articulates with the cuboid bone.
