Ligament Cuboid-Navicular Plantar

The cuboid navicular ligament is a type of osteofibrous joint between the greater and lesser tuberosities of the foot. Refers to low-moving and immobile joints. The intertubercular groove runs in front - from the anteromedial edge of the lateral process of the calcaneus

Ligaments of the cuboid and navicular lateral arches of the foot

The ligaments of the cuboid (cube) and navicular, the lateral arch of the foot, are an integral part of the attachment of the foot to the pelvic bone and serve to maintain its shape. These ligaments are located on the lower surface of the sole, representing a thick fibrous sheath of connective tissue.

- Function of the cuboid and scaphoid ligament

The primary function of these ligaments is to stabilize the leg and extend support from the pelvic bone to the lateral arch of the foot. In addition, they provide control and movement of the foot when walking and running. In addition, ligaments

The cuboid navicular ligament (navicular calcaneal ligament) is a strong tendon that connects the cuboid bone (the bone at the end of the foot) to the navicular bone (the base of the bone). This ligament provides stability to the foot and helps maintain balance while walking and running. In the article we will consider the main characteristics of the ligament of the cuboid and scaphoid bones.

Description: The cuboid-scaphoid plantar ligament begins at the base of the scaphoid bone and runs in an arc down to the cuboid bone. It has the appearance of a round cord consisting of fibers of the striated muscles of the lower leg and the heel end of the long extensor toe (m. extensor hallucis longus). At the level of the cuboid joint, it ends at the ligaments that connect the cuboid and medial cuneiform bones to the fibula.

Blood supply The cuboid-scaphoid plantar ligament is supplied by the anterior tibial and dorsal arteries and a tributary from the dorsal network. A well-formed vein, filled with venous blood, drains blood flow to the superficial deep tibial veins.

Nervous supply The cuboid plantars do not have their own nervous system. Sensory innervation to the plantar pathway is provided by the spinothoracic neurons of the three upper cervical and lumbar segments of the spinal cord. The motor innervation is controlled by the bulbar-patellar neuron, its lateral branches go to the contractions of the toes and the plantar nerve for the muscles attaching the cuboid-scaphoid plantar ligament.

Functions The ligaments between the cuboid - lateral sphenoid and cuboid bones help reduce friction from forces
