Proximally, it is tethered to the calcaneus dorsally by the calcaneocuboid and bifurcate ligaments and it is tethered plantarly by the stout long and short plantar ligaments. Medially, it is attached to both the third cuneiform and the navicular by the dorsal, plantar, and interosseous ligaments. Distally, it is attached to the fourth and fifth metatarsal bases by the dorsal ligaments and the long plantar ligament, and it is further stabilized by tendon fibers of the peroneus tertius, the peroneus brevis, the flexor digitorum brevis muscle to the fifth toe, the tibialis posterior tendon, and the peroneus longus6.
