Bones of the foot

Going from the heel to the toes, you can see the calcaneus, the talus, the lateral, intermediate and medial cuniform bones; the navicular; and the cuboid bones. Called the tarsal bones, they are the bones which make the transition from the leg to the foot.

The next five bones make up the body of the foot and are called the metatarsal bones. The first metatarsal lines up with the big toe, the fifth with the little toe. The final group are called the phalanges as are the equivalent bones in the fingers. The big toe, like the thumb just has only a proximal and distal phalanx as the other toes have a proximal, medial, and distal phalanges.
