Definition
The talonavicular ligament (Dorsal Talonavicular Ligament ; superior astragalonavicular ligament) is a broad, thin band, which connects the neck of the talus to the dorsal surface of the navicular bone; it is covered by the Extensor tendons. The plantar calcaneonavicular supplies the place of a plantar ligament for this joint.
