Ligaments of the foot (medial view) (Latin)

From this medial perspective, the lig. calcaneonaviculare plantare (a.k.a. spring ligament) is of particular interest. It extends between the sustentaculum tali and medioplantar margin of the facies posterior ossis navicularis, filling a wedge-shaped gap between these structures. It functions to stabilize the pars medialis arcus longitudinalis pedis and supports the caput ossis tali within the art. talocalcaneonavicularis.Also visible is the lig. plantare longum which extends from the facies plantaris calcanei to the os cuboideum and ossa secundum-quartum/quintum metatarsi. It supports the art. transversa tarsi and arcus longitudinalis pedis.
