| intra-articular sternocostal ligament | <anatomy> A ligament within the articular capsule between a costal cartilage and the sternum; especially well developed at second costal cartilage. Synonym: ligamentum sternocostale intra-articulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| talar articular surface of calcaneus | Any of the three facets of the calcaneus that articulate with the overlying talus; the talar articular surface anterior and middle talar articular surface contribute to the talocalcaneonavicular joint and are separated by the tarsal sinus from the posterior talar articular surface which enters into the subtalar joint.
