The surface meeting the ligament between the heel and navicular bones on the sole.

• A. Facet for calcaneonavicular part of bifurcate ligament
• B. Facet for plantar calcaneonavicular ligament
• C. Perichondrium
• D. Epiphyseal plate

Answer: (B)

This item tests how ligaments link the heel bone to the navicular bone. The plantar calcaneonavicular ligament, also known as the spring ligament, extends from the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus to the navicular bone and plays a crucial role in supporting the medial arch of the foot. The specific surface on the calcaneus that this ligament attaches to is called the facet for plantar calcaneonavicular ligament. This facet is the smooth area on the calcaneus where the spring ligament meets the heel bone, aligning with the navicular. The other options refer to different structures: a facet for the calcaneonavicular part of the bifurcate ligament is for another ligament arrangement, while perichondrium and the epiphyseal plate are not ligaments or attachment surfaces involved in this connection.
