- Lateral talocalcaneal ligamentLigamentum talocalcaneum lateraleA short, strong band on the outer side of the hindfoot linking the talus to the calcaneus across the subtalar joint.
- Long plantar ligamentLigamentum plantare longumThe longest ligament of the tarsus, running along the sole from the underside of the calcaneus to the cuboid and lateral metatarsal bases.
- Medial talocalcaneal ligamentLigamentum talocalcaneum medialeA small band on the inner side of the hindfoot running from the medial tubercle of the talus to the sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus.
- Metatarsal interosseous ligamentsLigamenta metatarsea interosseaStrong short ligaments deep between the bases of neighbouring metatarsal bones, forming the main bond between them.
- Plantar calcaneocuboid ligamentLigamentum calcaneocuboideum plantareThe short plantar ligament: a wide, very strong sole band joining the front of the calcaneus to the cuboid, under the long plantar ligament.
- Plantar calcaneonavicular ligamentLigamentum calcaneonaviculare plantareThe spring ligament: a thick sling under the head of the talus, running from the heel bone's sustentaculum tali to the navicular.
- Plantar cuboideonavicular ligamentLigamentum cuboideonaviculare plantareA small fibrous band in the sole of the midfoot that ties the underside of the navicular to the underside of the cuboid.
- Plantar cuneocuboid ligamentLigamentum cuneocuboideum plantareA short fibrous band in the sole that joins the cuboid to the lateral cuneiform at the cuneocuboid joint of the midfoot.
- Plantar cuneonavicular ligamentsLigamenta cuneonavicularia plantariaFibrous bands in the sole that fasten the underside of the navicular to the three cuneiform bones in front of it.
- Plantar intercuneiform ligamentsLigamenta intercuneiformia plantariaShort bands on the sole of the midfoot that tie each cuneiform bone to its neighbour on the underside.
- Plantar interphalangeal ligamentsLigamenta interphalangea plantariaThick fibrocartilaginous plates forming the floor of each interphalangeal joint of the toes and stopping the joints bending backwards.
- Plantar metatarsal ligamentsLigamenta metatarsea plantariaShort transverse bands in the sole that bind the bases of neighbouring metatarsal bones together at the intermetatarsal joints.
- Plantar metatarsophalangeal ligamentsLigamenta metatarsophalangea plantariaThe plantar plates of the metatarsophalangeal joints: fibrocartilage pads under each metatarsal head that bear weight and stop the toes over-extending.
- Plantar tarsometatarsal ligamentsLigamenta tarsometatarsea plantariaLongitudinal and oblique bands on the underside of the midfoot binding the cuneiforms and cuboid to the bases of the metatarsals.
- Posterior talocalcaneal ligamentLigamentum talocalcaneum posteriusA short band at the back of the hindfoot that fans out from the talus's lateral tubercle to the upper and medial calcaneus.
- Posterior talofibular ligamentLigamentum talofibulare posteriusThe deepest and strongest of the lateral ankle ligaments, running back from the fossa of the lateral malleolus to the posterior talus.
- Posterior tibiofibular ligamentLigamentum tibiofibulare posteriusA band at the back of the ankle joining the lower ends of the tibia and fibula across the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis.
- Posterior tibiotalar ligamentPars tibiotalaris posteriorThe posterior deep part of the medial (deltoid) ligament of the ankle, running from the medial malleolus back and down to the talus.
- Talocalcaneal interosseous ligamentLigamentum talocalcaneum interosseumA thick, strong ligament in the tunnel between the talus and calcaneus, binding the two bones together beneath the ankle.
- Talonavicular ligamentLigamentum talonaviculareA broad, thin band on the top of the foot joining the talar neck to the top of the navicular.
- Tibiocalcaneal ligamentLigamentum calcaneotibialeThe middle superficial band of the deltoid ligament, dropping almost vertically from the medial malleolus to the sustentaculum tali.
- Tibionavicular ligamentLigamentum tibionaviculareThe front superficial band of the deltoid ligament, running forwards from the medial malleolus to the navicular tuberosity.
- Transverse tibiofibular ligamentLigamentum tibiofibulare transversumA thick band crossing the back of the ankle between the fibular malleolus and the tibia, deepening the socket for the talus.
