outer cartilage is attached in front to the base of the spine on the headof the tibia, and behind by two slips, one to the notch between the con-dyles, and the other to the upper and posterior part of the tibia. The inner cartilage is attached in front and behind to the base of the spine on thehead of the tibia. This joint possesses three synovial mem-branes, one of considerable extent enclosingthe articular surfaces of the patella, andthe two ridges or trochlea in front of thefemur, and one to each condyle of thefemur and its corresponding half of thearticular face of the tibia. The movements of this joint are essen-tially those of flexion and extension, but italso enjoys a limited power of rotation. TIBIOFIBULAR AETICULATION This joint, of very small dimensionsand of most limited action, is formed bythe union of the inner surface of the headof the fibula with the upper and outer partof the tibia. The two bones are connectedby short, strong fibres, which completelysurround the joint.

THE ARTICULATIONS OF THE TARSUS OR HOCK-JOINT The so-called hock-joint, like the knee, is formed of a number of articu-lations, by which the various bones are enabled to move one upon theother. The extent of movement between the different pieces varies froma slight gliding action to a great range of flexion and extension. In the tibio - tarsal articulation, or the true hock-joint, sevenligaments are engaged, viz., two external lateral, three internal lateral,and an anterior and posterior. Both external lateral ligaments are attached above to the tuberosity(outer maleolus) on the lower and outer part of the tibia.
