The plantar tarsometatarsal ligaments consist of longitudinal and oblique bands disposed with less regularity than the dorsal ligaments. Those for the first and second metatarsals are the strongest; the second and third metatarsals are joined by oblique bands to the first cuneiform; the fourth and fifth metatarsals are connected by a few fibers to the cuboid.This article incorporates text from a public domain edition of Gray’s Anatomy.
