Distal trochlea of talus

Trochlea tali distalis

Definition

In ruminants, the distal trochlea of talus is well defined, so the trochlea is divided in two parts: the proximal trochlea for articulation with tibia and malleolar bone, and the distal trochlea for articulation with central tarsal bone and tarsal bone IV.
