Bruce Hohn, “Fractures of the Calcaneus in Racing Greyhounds”, in Veterinary Surgery: The Official Journal of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and the European College of Veterinary Surgeons, volume 16, number 1, Oxford, Oxfordshire: Blackwell, →DOI, →ISSN, →OCLC, →PMID, page 57, column 1:

     Standard anatomic texts do not provide a specific nomenclature for either the intraordinary or plantar ligaments of the calcaneus. Therefore, in this report, the intraordinary ligament between the talus and calcaneus will be referred to as the talocalcaneal ligament and the three plantar ligaments will be referred to as the medial, middle, and lateral plantar ligament.

     The lateral ligament assists valgus support and the medial ligament assists with the varus. There is also an intraordinary ligament between the talus and calcaneus.
