Dorsal MR images of the right tarsal joint: a SE T1-weighted and (b) GE STIR T2-weighted. Line depicts the level of section at the level of the plantar third of the central tarsal bone (I), plantar third of the talus (II) and dorsal third of the central tarsal bone (III). Tib = tibia, Fib = fibula, Tal = talus, Tc = central tarsal bone, T2 = 2nd tarsal bone, T3 = 3rd tarsal bone, T4 = 4th tarsal bone, MII = 2nd metatarsal bone, MIII = 3rd metatarsal bone, MIV = 4th metatarsal bone, MV = 5th metatarsal bone. 1 = subchondral bone, 2 = trabecular bone, 3 = articular cartilage, 4 = articular capsule, 5 = long lateral collateral ligament, 6 = short lateral collateral ligament (talofibular part), 7 = long medial collateral ligament, 8 = short medial collateral ligament (tibiotalar part), 9 = talocalcaneal interosseous ligament, 10 = talocalcaneocentral ligament, 11 = plantar intertarsal ligament, and 12 = plantar tarsometatarsal ligament
