Ligament: Posterior talocalcaneal ligament

Ligaments of the medial aspect of the foot.
Latin	ligamentum talocalcaneum posterius
Gray's	subject #96 352
From	talus

The posterior talocalcaneal ligament (posterior calcaneo-astragaloid ligament) connects the lateral tubercle of the talus with the upper and medial part of the calcaneus; it is a short band, and its fibers radiate from their narrow attachment to the talus.
