The cuneocuboideum interosseum ligament is a ligament that connects the cuboid and sphenoid bones in the lower limb. It plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the knee joint as well as allowing movement in the joint.
The sphenocuboid ligament consists of two parts: anterior and posterior. The anterior part begins from the anterior surface of the cuboid bone and extends to the anterior surface of the sphenoid bone. The posterior part starts from the posterior surface of the cuboid bone, passes through the interosseous membrane and ends on the posterior surface of the sphenoid bone.
The function of the sphenocuboid interosseous ligament is to maintain the shape and stability of the knee joint. It helps keep the cuboid bone in the correct position relative to the sphenoid bone, which provides stability to the joint and prevents dislocation.
In addition, the sphenocuboid ligament is involved in movement in the knee joint. For example, it helps with knee flexion and extension, as well as walking on your knees.
If the sphenocuboid ligament is damaged, knee pain occurs, movement in the joint is limited, and walking on the knees may be difficult. Treatment may include conservative methods such as physical therapy, massage, and surgery if conservative methods do not help.
Bone bridge between the heel and the levator bone
The sphenocuboid ligament connects the calcaneus to the talus and is designed to reduce the friction of the bones against each other when walking. Located inside the ankle joint in the transverse plane direction, it is the thinnest of all the bones in this area.
On the side of the tibia is the tibiotalus bone. The calcaneocuboid joint is located in the medial part of the leg, surrounded in front by the fibular bone wall. It communicates with the lateral condyle and is fixedly connected to the talus end of the calcaneus. The area in which the cuneiform ligament is located is formed by the superficial arch and the lower end of the heel. Its lateral end is wider and longer than its medial end. The medial ankle connects anteriorly to the cuboid bone.
