Ligaments Scaphoid-sphenoidal Dorsal

The ligaments of the scaphoid-sphenoid dorsal ligament (L. navicularicuneiformia dorsalis) are connective tissue cords connecting the scaphoid bone to the cuboid and sphenoid bones. These ligaments play an important role in stabilizing the ankle joint and preventing it from spraining.

The navicular bone is one of the largest bones of the foot and has a shield shape with rounded edges. It is connected to the foot by ligaments, including the navicular-cuneiform dorsal ligament. The sphenoid bone acts as a support for the forefoot, and the cuboid bone supports the back of the foot.

The navicular ligaments play an important role in maintaining ankle stability and preventing sprains. They also help stabilize the foot while walking and running. The navicular dorsal ligament is one of the major ligaments that maintains stability of the ankle joint.

When the dorsal scaphocuneiform ligaments are damaged, ankle instability can occur, which can lead to injury and pain when walking. In such cases, it is recommended to consult an orthopedic doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
