Talus
Clinical relevance: with only ligamentous attachments and a retrograde blood supply, the talus is prone to avascular necrosis after a talar neck fracture
What our notes say
- Clinical relevance: with only ligamentous attachments and a retrograde blood supply, the talus is prone to avascular necrosis after a talar neck fracture (Aponeurosis — Anatomy Question Bank)
- No muscle inserts directly on the talus — this was left unanswered in the original source, but it's worth knowing that no tendon attaches to it at all (Aponeurosis — Anatomy Question Bank)
