There are several ways and extents in which the tarsometatarsal fusion is accomplished throughout bird evolution.
2.
Destroyed Tarsometatarsal joints in the medial left foot, with fracture and dislocation of fragments; these are classic findings.
3.
This technique is not absolutely specific, as the distal pouches of the tarsometatarsal joint are immediately adjacent to the suspensory ligament.
4.
The first metatarsal articulates ( forms joints ) with the tarsometatarsal ligaments, and medially gives insertion to part of the tendon of the tibialis anterior;
5.
Compared to other presbyornithids, " Willaru " appeared to have been specialised to a more terrestrial lifestyle, based on its tarsometatarsal morphology.
6.
This means that anaesthetic in the tarsometatarsal joint can occasionally desensitize pain arising from suspensory ligament, giving the false impression that joint pain has been abolished.
7.
In cases with severe pain, loss of function, or progressive deformity that has failed to respond to nonoperative treatment, mid-tarsal and tarsometatarsal arthrodesis ( operative fusion of the bones ) may be indicated.
8.
When a Lisfranc injury is characterized by significant displacement of the tarsometatarsal joint ( s ), nonoperative treatment often leads to severe loss of function and long-term disability secondary to chronic pain and sometimes to a planovalgus deformity.
9.
However, it lacks the highly derived tarsometatarsal laxity and inversion in extant African apes . " I'll let you decide if that counts as " opposable " . talk ) 19 : 21, 16 July 2013 ( UTC)
10.
The "'anterior surface "', of smaller size, but also irregularly triangular, is divided by a vertical ridge into two facets, forming the fourth and fifth tarsometatarsal joints : the medial facet, quadrilateral in form, articulates with the fourth metatarsal; the lateral, larger and more triangular, articulates with the fifth.
