Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9CR
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The method by which the tibia and talus maintain their correct positioning in the talocrural joint.
Introduction:
The freely mobile articulations are synovial joints. These joints are separated by a space called a joint activity that is absent in fibrous and cartilaginous joints. The talocrural joint is also known as the ankle joint. It is a highly modified synovial hinge joint.
