The bones of the ankle are collectively called the tarsals. \u00a0The largest bone of this group is the calcaneus (9), or the heel bone. \u00a0The talus (8) has an irregular shape and is commonly referred to as the “instep.” \u00a0 The navicular bone (7) is named for its shape, which resembles a small boat. \u00a0 There are three cuneiforms that lie in front of the navicular and are easily remembered based on their positions. \u00a0 The inner most cuneiform which articulates with the metatarsals (2) of the big toe is the medial cuneiform (3). \u00a0The outermost one is the lateral cuneiform (5) with the intermediate cuneiform (5) lying between them. \u00a0The most lateral tarsal bone is the cuboid (6), which is shaped like a cube.<\/p>\n

The foot bones are called the metatarsals (2) and the toes bones are collectively called the phalanges. \u00a0 There are three phalanges: \u00a0proximal (1c), middle \u00a0(1b) and distal (1c). \u00a0 The big toe only has the proximal and distal phalanx. \u00a0\"foot<\/a><\/p>\n
