Ligament of Metatarsal Bones Interosseous

Interosseous ligament of metatarsal bones (lat. l. interossea ossium me tatarsalium) - dense fibrous ligaments connecting the metatarsal bones.

They fill the spaces between the metatarsal bones and are attached to the adjacent surfaces of these bones. Ligaments provide strength to connect the metatarsal bones to each other. There are three pairs of interosseous ligaments: medial, middle and lateral.

The interosseous ligaments, together with other ligamentous structures of the foot, provide strength to its arches and limit excessive mobility of individual bones relative to each other. Damage to these ligaments can lead to foot deformities and the development of flat feet.

The interosseous ligament of the metatarsal bones is part of the human anatomy. Located in its limbs, it connects the bones of 2 adjacent rows of the foot to each other. It has a certain function, the main one being participation in distributing the load of bodies and their structures between the lower links and hips, which helps reduce tension in the latter.
