The plantar ligaments of metatarsophalangeal articulations are thick, dense, fibrous structures.

They are placed on the plantar surfaces of the joints in the intervals between the collateral ligaments, to which they are connected; they are loosely united to the metatarsal bones, but very firmly to the bases of the first phalanges.

Their plantar surfaces are intimately blended with the transverse metatarsal ligament, and grooved for the passage of the Flexor tendons, the sheaths surrounding which are connected to the sides of the grooves.

Their deep surfaces form part of the articular facets for the heads of the metatarsal bones, and are lined by synovial membrane.
