- Metatarsal bonesOssa metatarsiThe metatarsal bones are the five long bones of the forefoot, joining the tarsal bones of the midfoot to the phalanges of the toes.
- Metatarsal interosseous ligamentsLigamenta metatarsea interosseaStrong short ligaments deep between the bases of neighbouring metatarsal bones, forming the main bond between them.
- Perforating branches of plantar metatarsal arteriesRami perforantes arteriarum metatarsearum plantariumShort branches that rise from the plantar metatarsal arteries near the toes, passing up between the metatarsals to join the dorsal metatarsal arteries.
- Phalanges of the footOssa digitorum pedisThe phalanges of the foot are the short bones of the toes: two in the great toe and three in each of the four lesser toes.
- Plantar archArcus plantarisThe deep arterial arch of the sole, where the lateral plantar artery meets the deep plantar artery coming down from the dorsum.
- 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 digital veinsVenae digitales plantaresSmall veins on the undersides of the toes that drain the plantar skin of the digits and unite to form the plantar metatarsal veins.
- 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 arteriesArteriae metatarseae plantaresFour arteries arising from the plantar arch that run forwards between the metatarsal bones and divide into plantar digital arteries.
- Plantar metatarsal ligamentsLigamenta metatarsea plantariaShort transverse bands in the sole that bind the bases of neighbouring metatarsal bones together at the intermetatarsal joints.
- Plantar metatarsal veinsVenae metatarseae plantaresDeep veins running back in the spaces between the metatarsal bones on the sole, draining the toes into the deep plantar venous arch.
- 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.
- Plantar venous archArcus venosus plantarisA deep venous arch across the sole of the foot, lying beside the plantar arterial arch and gathering the plantar metatarsal veins.
- 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 tibial arteryArteria tibialis posteriorThe artery of the back of the leg and the sole, arising from the popliteal artery and passing behind the medial malleolus into the foot.
- Posterior tibial veinsVenae tibiales posterioresPaired deep veins of the back of the leg that accompany the posterior tibial artery from the ankle up to the popliteal fossa.
- 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.
