Ligament Metatarsal Transverse Deep

The deep transverse metatarsal ligament (lat. l. metatarseum transversum profundum) is a ligament located on the human foot that connects the metatarsal bones and provides stability to the foot. This ligament is one of the important structures of the foot as it helps maintain the correct position of the foot while walking or running.

The transverse deep metatarsal ligament is located on the front surface of the foot and consists of two parts: superficial and deep. The superficial part is located at the level of the first and second metatarsal bones, and the deep part is located at the level of the third and fourth metatarsal bones. Both parts of the ligament are connected to each other in the midfoot.

The functions of the deep metatarsal ligament include supporting the foot during movement, providing stability to the foot, and protecting the joints from injury. Additionally, this ligament may be involved in certain foot conditions such as arthritis or injury.

In order to maintain the health of the foot and avoid injuries, it is necessary to monitor its condition and perform exercises to strengthen the ligaments. It is also important to choose the right shoes and avoid excessive stress on the foot.



**Transverse metatarsal ligament** (lat. ligamentum metatarsi transversum) or - a ligament that connects the longitudinal bone elements on the plane of the sole of the foot in the transverse direction. It goes from the base of the external sphenoid bone to the outer surface of the calcaneus and the plantar apophysis of the tarsus (through the talus and the bottom of the recesses of the talus). Ligaments in the language of anatomy are the supporting apparatus of the body, providing its support and
