The spring ligament is attached to which of the following bones:
The spring ligament (plantar calcaneonavicular ligament) is a broad thick ligament that extends from the calcaneus to the navicular bone. It supports the head of the talus, stabilises the talocalcaneonavicular joint and resists depression of the medial arch of the foot. The spring ligament takes the weight of the body from the talus and transmits it to the forefoot.
