What are the 3 main ligaments of the foot
- Spring
- Bifurcate
- Plantar
- - Long
- - Short
Where does the spring ligament go?

Goes from calcaneus to bottom of navicular
Where does the bifurcate ligament go?
- From upper calcaneus to navicular

(it's Y shaped)
Where does the long plantar ligament go?

From bottom of calcaneus to cuboid and middle 3 metatarsals
Where does the short plantar ligament go?

Runs from bottom of calcaneus to bottom of cuboid

(it's deeper than the long plantar ligament)
