The long plantar ligament is the longest of all the ligaments of the tarsus.It is attached behind to the plantar surface of the calcaneus in front of the tuberosity, and in front to the tuberosity on the plantar surface of the cuboid bone, the more superficial fibers being continued forward to the bases of the second, third, and fourth metatarsal bones.
Plantar fasciitis or plantar heel pain is a disorder of the plantar fascia, which is the connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot. [ 2 ] It results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot that is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest. [ 2 ][ 4 ] Pain is also frequently brought on by ...
Plantar plates, fibrocartilaginous structures in the metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the toes. One of several tarsal, metatarsal, and tarsometatarsal ligaments: Long plantar ligament, that connects the calcaneus with the cuboid bone. Plantar calcaneocuboid ligament, deep to previous. Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament, that ...
The calcaneocuboid joint is conventionally described as among the least mobile joints in the human foot. The articular surfaces of the two bones are relatively flat with some irregular undulations, which seem to suggest movement limited to a single rotation and some translation. However, the cuboid rotates as much as 25° about an oblique axis ...
Five central part plantar aponeurosis bundles. The plantar fascia is the thick central portion of the fascia investing the plantar muscles. It extends between the medial process of the tuber calcanei [1] and the proximal phalanges of [citation needed] the toes. It provides some attachment to the flexor muscles of the toes.
The plantar calcaneonavicular ligamentous complex is a broad and thick band with three constituent ligaments. These connect the anterior margin of the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus to the plantar surface of the navicular bone. [1][2] Its individual components are the: superomedial calcaneonavicular ligament. [2]
The plantar calcaneocuboid ligament lies nearer to the bones than the long plantar ligament, from which it is separated by a little areolar tissue.. It is a short but wide band of great strength, and extends from the anterior tubercle of calcaneus and the depression in front of it, on the forepart of the plantar surface of the calcaneus, to the plantar surface of the cuboid posterior to the ...
Plantar metatarsal ligaments. Ligaments of the sole of the foot, with the tendons of the peronæus longus, tibialis posterior and tibialis anterior muscles. The ligaments of the foot from the lateral aspect. The plantar metatarsal ligaments are ligaments in the foot.
