A list of bones in the foot

1. Talus - the bone that connects the foot to the leg

2. Calcaneus - the heel bone, it’s the largest tarsal bone

3. Navicular - located in front of the talus

4. Medial cuneiform - the first of the 3 cuneiform bones

5. Intermediate cuneiform- the second cuneiform bone

6. Lateral cuneiform- the third cuneiform bone

7. Cuboid - situated on the lateral side of the foot

   these are the seven tarsal bones

8. First metatarsal- big toe

9. 2/3/4 follow on from the big toe

10. Fifth met is the little toe

    these are the 5 metatarsal bones

11. Each toe consists of 3 phalanges proximal medal and distal except the big toe it only has 2 , proximal and distal

12. Proximal phalanges 5 one for each toe

13. Middle phalanges 4 one for each toe except the big toe

14. Distal phalanges 5 one for each toe

    these at the 14 phalanges

    so when you put it all together, you have a wonderfully intricate architecture of bones that allows for the amazing feats of movement and stability we often take for granted.
