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 radioulnar ligament ... This article incorporates text in the public domain from page 325 of the 20th edition of Gray's Anatomy (1918)
The bases of the other four metatarsals are connected by the dorsal, plantar, and interosseous ligaments. The dorsal ligaments pass transversely between the dorsal surfaces of the bases of the adjacent metatarsal bones. The plantar ligaments have a similar arrangement to the dorsal. The interosseous ligaments consist of strong transverse fibers ...

The dorsal or superomedial component of the ligament presents a fibrocartilaginous facet, lined by the synovial membrane, upon which a portion of the head of the talus rests. Its plantar surface, consisting of the intermedial and lateral ligaments, is supported by the tendon of the tibialis posterior ; its medial border is blended with the ...
Plantar ligament refer to ligaments in the sole of the foot: 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
The distal radioulnar articulation [1] (also known as the distal radioulnar joint, [2] or inferior radioulnar joint [1] [3]) is a synovial pivot joint between the two bones in the forearm; the radius and ulna. It is one of two joints between the radius and ulna, the other being the proximal radioulnar articulation.
