Joints and ligaments · FootAnterior talocalcaneal ligamentLigamentum talocalcaneum anteriusA short band in the foot that ties the talar neck to the calcaneus across the sinus tarsi.
Joints and ligaments · FootAnterior talofibular ligamentLigamentum talofibulare anteriusA flat band on the outer side of the ankle joining the front of the lateral malleolus to the neck of the talus.
Arteries · FootAnterior tibial arteryArteria tibialis anteriorThe artery of the front of the leg, a terminal branch of the popliteal artery that runs down to the ankle and into the foot.
Joints and ligaments · FootAnterior tibiofibular ligamentLigamentum tibiofibulare anteriusA flat oblique band on the front of the lower tibiofibular joint, binding the lower ends of the tibia and fibula together.
Arteries · FootArcuate arteryArteria arcuataAn artery that arches laterally across the bases of the metatarsal bones on the back of the foot, arising from the dorsalis pedis.
Joints and ligaments · FootArticular capsule of interphalangeal joint of great toeCapsula articularis articulationis interphalangeae hallucisThe fibrous and synovial sleeve enclosing the single hinge joint between the proximal and distal phalanges of the great toe.
Joints and ligaments · FootArticular capsules of distal interphalangeal joints of footCapsulae articulares articulationum interphalangearum distalium pedisThe capsules enclosing the hinge joints between the middle and distal phalanges of the second to fifth toes.
Joints and ligaments · FootArticular capsules of metatarsophalangeal jointsCapsulae articulares articulationum metatarsophalangearumThe capsules surrounding the joints between the heads of the metatarsal bones and the bases of the proximal phalanges of the toes.
Joints and ligaments · FootArticular capsules of proximal interphalangeal joints of footCapsulae articulares articulationum interphalangearum proximalium pedisThe capsules enclosing the hinge joints between the proximal and middle phalanges of the second to fifth toes.
Arteries · FootCalcaneal branches of fibular arteryRami calcanei arteriae fibularisThe terminal branches of the fibular artery, passing behind the lateral malleolus to supply the lateral and back parts of the heel.
Arteries · FootCalcaneal branches of posterior tibial arteryRami calcanei arteriae tibialis posteriorisSmall branches of the posterior tibial artery near the medial ankle that pierce the flexor retinaculum to supply the medial and plantar heel.
Joints and ligaments · FootCalcaneocuboid ligamentLigamentum calcaneocuboideumThe lateral limb of the Y-shaped bifurcate ligament on the top of the foot, joining the front of the calcaneus to the cuboid.
Joints and ligaments · FootCalcaneofibular ligamentLigamentum calcaneofibulareA rounded cord on the outer side of the ankle passing down from the lowest point of the fibula to the side of the heel bone.
Joints and ligaments · FootCalcaneonavicular ligamentLigamentum calcaneonaviculareThe medial limb of the Y-shaped bifurcate ligament on the top of the foot, joining the front of the calcaneus to the navicular.
Skeleton · FootCalcaneusThe heel bone, biggest of all the foot bones, which takes the weight of the body at heel strike and anchors the Achilles tendon.
Joints and ligaments · FootCollateral interphalangeal ligaments of footLigamenta interphalangea collateralia pedisPaired fibrous bands on the two sides of each joint between the bones of the toes, keeping these hinge joints aligned.
Joints and ligaments · FootCollateral metatarsophalangeal ligamentsLigamenta metatarsophalangea collateraliaStrong rounded cords flanking each joint between a metatarsal head and the base of its proximal phalanx.
Arteries · FootCommon plantar digital arteriesArteriae digitales plantares communesArteries in the forefoot sole that continue the plantar metatarsal arteries and divide at the toe webs into proper plantar digital arteries.
Joints and ligaments · FootCuneocuboid interosseous ligamentLigamentum cuneocuboideum interosseumA strong, short ligament deep in the midfoot binding the lateral cuneiform bone to the cuboid across their facing surfaces.
Joints and ligaments · FootCuneometatarsal interosseous ligamentsLigamenta cuneometatarsea interosseaStrong ligaments deep in the tarsometatarsal joints that bind the cuneiform bones to the bases of the metatarsals, the strongest being the Lisfranc ligament.
Arteries · FootDeep plantar arteryArteria plantaris profundaA short branch of the dorsalis pedis that plunges into the sole through the first intermetatarsal space to complete the plantar arch.
Joints and ligaments · FootDeep transverse metatarsal ligamentLigamentum metatarseum transversum profundumA narrow band across the sole of the forefoot that ties every metatarsal head to the next.
Joints and ligaments · FootDorsal calcaneocuboid ligamentLigamentum calcaneocuboideum dorsaleA thin, broad band across the top of the joint between the calcaneus and the cuboid on the outer side of the foot.
Joints and ligaments · FootDorsal cuboideonavicular ligamentLigamentum cuboideonaviculare dorsaleA short oblique band on the top of the midfoot that ties the navicular bone to the cuboid bone beside it.
