What is the spring ligament?

Spring Ligament is an alternative name for plantar calcaneonavicular ligament, leg ligament. Connecting Calcaneus or stalemate with a tarsu navic bone in half is this liga of a strong zone of fibrous connective tissue found near a plantar surface or foot soles. Together with long plantar and short plantar bonds, it is considered to be part of the spring ligament complex, which not only supports the arch of the foot, but also absorbs a large percentage of human body weight. Irregularly shaped bone, bones on the heel or calcaneus contain several surfaces similar to platforms for articulation with adjacent bones such as talus above it. One such aspects is Sustentaculum Tali, which is located near the upper part of Calcaneus along its middle or inner surface. It is along this horizontal phase that spring ligament is formed, as well as ligaments Tibiocalcaneal and Medial Talocalcaneal.

ofThe heel of the bone stretches forward, along the underside of the foot on the side of the large finger. It connects to the navicular bone, the bone of the tarsus. Tarsus is a cluster of seven irregularly shaped bones in the middle and hind legs behind the metatars, long bones of the foot that connect to the fingers. It is located on the front of the talus on the media aspect of the foot, the navicular has a concave lower surface to which the Plantar Kačany binding connects.

The main function of the spring ligament is to hold these two bones together and support the joint between them, the type of synovial or liquid joint known as arthrodial or plain joint, in which adjacent flat surfaces of two or more adjacent bones can slide around the other. Inside the tentrtarsal joint, in which the bones of Calcaneus and the talus associate with the navicular, convex head talus articulates with the concave rear surface of the navicular. When the plantar cylindrical ligaments run under the navicular, it helps to support the head of the talus inside the joint. SimilarIt forms the lower limit of the joint and helps to contain the contents of the synovial cavity inside. Finally, it includes a part of the middle arch of the foot, contributes to the elasticity of the arch, thereby absorbing the weight distributed from the heel through the arch to the foot of the foot.
