Ligament Calcaneocuboid Plantar

The calcaneocuboid plantar ligament is one of the important elements of the human musculoskeletal system. It connects the heel bone and the cuboid bone of the foot, providing stability and stability when walking and running.

The calcaneocuboid plantar ligament has several functions. Firstly, it supports the longitudinal arch of the foot and prevents it from sagging. Secondly, it provides stability to the foot during movement, preventing it from swaying and moving to the sides.

However, if this ligament is damaged or weakened, it can lead to various health problems such as heel pain, foot instability, lameness, and even torn ligaments.

Various techniques such as radiography, ultrasound, and MRI are used to diagnose and treat calcaneocuboid plantar ligament injury. If a ligament ruptures, surgery may be required to restore the integrity of the ligament.

Prevention of damage to this ligament includes regular physical activity, proper foot placement when walking and running, and the use of orthotics and shoes when necessary.

Overall, the calcaneocuboid plantar ligament plays an important role in maintaining foot health and providing stability during movement. Therefore, it is important to monitor its condition and take measures to protect and restore it in case of damage.

One of the elements of the support function is the connected calcaneal-talo-navicular joint. It is formed due to the connection of the tuberosity of the calcaneus with the two extreme surfaces of the scaphoid, as well as the calcaneal tuberosity and the talus, narrowing the talus cavity. The length of the ligament is (23 ± 0.4) cm, width – (61 ± 0.8) mm, thickness – 1.5 mm.
