SUMMARY

1. The transverse arch is located in the coronal plane of the foot.
2. It is formed by the metatarsal bases, the cuboid and the three cuneiform bones.

SUPPORTING STRUCTURES
3. Muscular support: peroneus longus and tibialis posterior.
4. Ligamentous support: plantar ligaments (long plantar, short plantar and plantar calcaneonavicular ligaments) and deep transverse metatarsal ligaments.
