The anatomy and composition of the plantar plates are similar to the palmar plates in the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal joints in the hand; the proximal origin is thin but the distal insertion is stout. Due to the weight-bearing nature of the human foot, the plantar plates are exposed to extension forces not present in the human ...
There are two RULs: the palmar and dorsal radioulnar ligaments. [citation needed] These ligaments arise from the distal radius medial border and insert on the ulna at two separate and distinct sites: the ulna styloid and the fovea (a groove that separates the ulnar styloid from the ulnar head).
The dorsal ligaments are three small bundles, one attached to each of the cuneiform bones. The bundle connecting the navicular with the medial cuneiform bone is continuous around the medial side of the articulation with the plantar ligament which unites these two bones.
The dorsal radioulnar ligament ... This article incorporates text in the public domain from page 325 of the 20th edition of Gray's Anatomy (1918)
The dorsal tarsometatarsal ligaments are ligaments located in the foot.They are strong, flat bands that stretch from the tarsal bones to the metatarsals.. The first metatarsal is joined to the first cuneiform by a broad, thin band; the second has three, one from each cuneiform bone; the third has one from the third cuneiform; the fourth has one from the third cuneiform and one from the cuboid ...
Dorsal ligament can refer to: Dorsal radioulnar ligament; Dorsal radiocarpal ligament; Dorsal cuboideonavicular ligament; Dorsal intercarpal ligament;
The transverse arch is strengthened by the interosseous, plantar, and dorsal ligaments, by the short muscles of the first and fifth toes (especially the transverse head of the adductor hallucis), and by the fibularis longus, whose tendon stretches across between the piers of the arches. [1]
This is characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling of the medial plantar surface of the foot. This is made worse by standing and walking, and often worse at night. [2] Tinel's sign can be elicited by tapping the part of the flexor retinaculum of the foot over the tibial nerve. [3]
