Ligaments Scaphoid-sphenoidal Plantar

The navicular-sphenoid plantar ligament (l. navicularicuneiformis plantaria, BNA) is one of the most common ligaments in the foot. They connect the navicular and sphenoid bones of the foot to the sole. These ligaments play an important role in maintaining foot stability and preventing injury.

The navicular wedge ligaments are located between the navicular bone and the wedge bone on the forefoot. They are made of dense connective tissue and are shaped like the letter “C”. Ligaments maintain the stability of the foot, allowing it to move freely and without friction when walking and running.

When the scaphoid-sphenoid plantar ligament becomes damaged, it can lead to a variety of problems, including pain, swelling, limited movement, and even ligament rupture. Treatment for such injuries may include physical therapy, massage, corticosteroid injections, and surgical correction.

It is important to remember that the navicular wedge ligaments require regular care and prevention. Regular physical activity, proper footwear, and injury prevention can help keep these ligaments healthy and prevent damage.

Introduction The navicular plantar ligaments are complex anatomical structures that provide stability and stability to the arch of the foot during movement. This article describes the function, structure, and characteristics of damage to these ligaments. Knowledge of the underlying causes of injury will allow us to better understand the mechanisms of symptom development in order to improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment of patients suffering from such injuries.

Function The navicular plantar ligament plays an important role in the formation of the arch and stability of the foot. These ligaments connect the navicular and talus bones of the foot to the inside of the heel. When functioning well, they provide normal arch height, stability and strength to the foot when walking. The boat fits tightly to the arch of the foot, which makes it possible to support body weight (especially in the full-foot position). The wedge-shaped elements of the foot provide sufficient distance between the back and front of the sole, maintaining the correct plantar curvature. Thus, the ligaments of the navicular wedge-shaped sole are, in a broad sense, responsible for the strong contact of this paired device with the ground.
