Ligaments Tarsal Interosseous

The tarsal ligaments are a group of ligaments that connect the tarsal bones and form the plantar surface of the foot. They play an important role in stabilizing the foot and ensuring its mobility.

The tarsal ligaments are divided into two groups:

1. Ligaments between the tarsus and metatarsus (l. intertarseae). They are located between the tarsal bones (talus, calcaneus, cuboid, navicular) and the metatarsal bones (sphenoid, cuboid-sphenoid). These ligaments connect the surfaces of bones and provide stability.

2. Interosseous ligaments of the tarsus. They are located between the inner sides of the tarsal bones, such as the talus and calcaneus. These ligaments provide stability and mobility to the foot and are also involved in the formation of the arch of the foot.

One of the most important ligaments in the group of interosseous tarsal ligaments is the ligament between the talus and calcaneus. It is called the plantar ligament (l. plantaris) and connects the surfaces of the talus and calcaneal tubercle. This ligament provides stability to the foot and prevents it from moving to the side.

The tarsal ligaments are important to the function of the foot. They ensure its stability and allow it to perform various movements such as walking, running, jumping, etc. Disturbances in the functioning of the tarsal ligaments can lead to various foot diseases, such as flat feet, arthritis, tendonitis, etc. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the tarsal ligaments and, if necessary, consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
