The calcaneocuboid plantar ligament (short plantar ligament) connects the anterior calcaneal tubercle to the plantar cuboid, providing the primary plantar stabilisation of the calcaneocuboid joint.
Provides the plantar calcaneocuboid joint stability, supports the lateral column during loading, and is the primary lateral arch plantar stabiliser alongside the long plantar ligament.
Short plantar ligament insufficiency contributes to lateral arch collapse. Combined long and short plantar ligament disruption produces complete lateral column failure. Assessment by ultrasound and MRI guides surgical planning for lateral column reconstruction.
