Plantar cuboideonavicular ligament
[edit | edit source]
The Plantar Cuboideonavicular Ligament is a fibrous band of connective tissue found in the human foot. It is part of the Plantar ligaments that help maintain the arch of the foot and provide stability during movement.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The Plantar Cuboideonavicular Ligament originates from the plantar surface of the cuboid bone and extends to the navicular bone. It is located on the sole of the foot, adjacent to the long plantar ligament and the short plantar ligament.
Function[edit | edit source]
The primary function of the Plantar Cuboideonavicular Ligament is to provide stability to the foot by maintaining the arch and preventing excessive movement of the bones. It also plays a role in the transmission of weight and force from the tibia to the forefoot.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
Damage or injury to the Plantar Cuboideonavicular Ligament can result in foot pain, instability, and altered gait. Conditions such as plantar fasciitis and flat foot can also affect the ligament.
