*Collateral ligaments:
*'''Collateral ligaments''':
**Long lateral collateral: Arises from the lateral maleolus of the tibia and terminates on the proximal end of metatarsal IV (lateral splint). Between these points it attaches to the lateral tarsal bones.
**Long lateral collateral: Arises from the lateral maleolus of the tibia and terminates on the proximal end of metatarsal IV (lateral splint). Between these points it attaches to the lateral tarsal bones.
**Short lateral collateral: Deep to the long lateral collateral. It arises from the lateral maleolus of the tibia and attaches via two branches, one to the calcaneus and one to the talus.
**Short lateral collateral: Deep to the long lateral collateral. It arises from the lateral maleolus of the tibia and attaches via two branches, one to the calcaneus and one to the talus.
**Long medial collateral: Arises from the medial malleolus and terminates on the proximal end of metatarsal II (medial splint). Between these points it attaches to the medial tarsal bones.

*Long plantar ligament: Extends on the plantar aspect of the hock from the calcaneal tuberosity distally to the proximal end of the third and fourth metatarsal bones and also attaches to the central and fourth tarsal bones.
