Ligaments Wedge-navicular Plantar

The cuneonavicular plantar ligaments (lat. l. cuneonavicularia plantaria, pna, bna) are paired ligaments of the human foot, connecting the sphenoid and navicular bones. They provide stability to the longitudinal and transverse arches of the foot.

These ligaments originate on the inferior surface of the sphenoid bone and attach to the lateral surfaces of the scaphoid bone. They are flat bundles of collagen fibers located in the transverse direction.

The cuneiform ligaments, together with other ligaments of the foot (talocalcaneal, talonavicular, etc.) provide reliable fixation of the bones and the formation of the arches of the foot. Damage to these ligaments leads to foot deformation and the development of flat feet.

The cuneonavicular plantar ligaments (l. cuneonavicularia plantaria) are a group of ligaments that connect the wedge-shaped bone of the foot to the plantar part of the foot. They play an important role in maintaining foot stability and function.

The wedge-navicular ligament (l. cuneona-vicularia) starts from the wedge-shaped bone of the foot and passes through the plantar surface of the foot to the plantar part of the foot. It plays a role in supporting body weight and stabilizing the foot during walking and running.

The plantar ligament of the cuneonavicular bone (l. plantaria cuneonavicularia) also starts from the wedge of the foot and passes to the plantar surface of the foot. It helps maintain foot stability and prevent foot movement when walking and running.

Both ligaments are important for the normal functioning of the foot, especially during sports and physical activity. However, injuries to these ligaments can lead to pain, swelling, and limited mobility of the foot. Therefore, it is important to know about their location and functions to avoid injury and maintain healthy feet.
