Ligament Plantar Long

The transverse ligament of the foot is divided into two main longitudinal ligaments: - the first is located outward and goes around the bases of the II-V metatarsal bones (the I metatarsal bone is limited here only by the superficial layer of its fascia). This ligament is the plantar short ligament; - the second goes from the lateral edge of the tubercle of the scaphoid through the base of the fifth metatarsal to the base of the first metatarsal (further through these two bones it fuses with the periosteum of these bones and the calcaneal process of the talus), called the long plantar ligament.
