In the true subastragaloid form, the astragalus continues to articulate with the tibia and fibula, but it is displaced from its articulation with the os calcis and scaphoid.
As a result of the equinus, the upper surface of the astragalus projects forward, and only its posterior portion comes in contact with the tibia and fibula.
The signs are very pronounced; the head of the astragalus can be seen and felt lying upon the upper surface of the scaphoid and cuneiform bones.

The injury is not infrequently compound, so that the astragaluspresents into the wound.
B, 13) is a strong bone with a flattened expanded proximal end articulating with almost the whole of the end of the femur, and a similarly expanded distal end articulating with a bone representing the fused astragalus and centrale.
Of these the calcaneum is the fibulare, and the astragalus is generally regarded as the tibiale and intermedium fused[111].
The astragalus is very flat, and the tarsals interlock to a slight extent, the cuboid articulating with both calcaneum and astragalus.
In the tarsus the cuboid articulates with the astragalus as well as with the calcaneum, and the proximal surface of the astragalus is marked by a pulley-like groove.
The astragalus is abruptly truncated distally, and the facet by which it articulates with the cuboid, is much smaller than that by which it articulates with the navicular.
The astragalus has its distal portion abruptly truncated, and the facet by which it articulates with the cuboid is much smaller than that by which it articulates with the navicular.
The astragalus has pulley-like surfaces both proximally and distally, and articulates with the navicular and cuboid by two nearly equal facets.
The fibula articulates with the calcaneum, and the astragalusis very flat.
The astragalus is closely applied to the tibia, in front of which it sends an ascending process, sometimes the two bones appear to have been ankylosed together, as in birds.

The ANKLE JOINT is a hinge, the astragalus being received into a lateral arch formed by the lower ends of the tibia and fibula.
Backward dislocation is prevented by the articular surface of the astragalus being broader in front than behind.
There are two between the astragalus and calcaneum, and at these inversion and eversion of the foot largely occur.
The inner arch of the foot is maintained by a very important ligament called the calcaneo-navicular or spring ligament; it connects the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneum with the navicular, and upon it the head of the astragalus rests.
The anterior and posterior parts of the capsule are feeble, but the lateral ligaments are very strong, the external consisting of three separate fasciculi which bind the fibula to the astragalus and calcaneum.
When the astragalusdoes not protrude, it seems to matter little for the future result whether its articular surface be removed or not.
Thus he opens the joint between the astragalus and tibia, (6.
Placing his forefinger here, he ought to place his thumb on the other side of the foot directly opposite, which will show him where the os naviculare and astragalus are connected.
The bones were then grasped with the lion-forceps and pulled forwards, while the posterior surface of the astragalus was very cautiously cleaned, so as to avoid the posterior tibial artery.
