Humans have 26 bones in each foot that are classified into three groups – tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges. These bones give structure to the foot and allow for all foot movements like flexing the toes and ankle, walking, and running.
There are a variety of anatomical structures that make up the anatomy of the foot and ankle (Figure 1) including bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves. These will be reviewed in the sections of this chapter.
The foot as a whole is usually described as an elastic arched structure, the keystone of the arch being the talus. The talus receives and transmit the entire weight of the body. and 4 and 5 metatarsals. Lateral - calcaneous, cuboid, and 4th 5th metatarsals.
The foot and ankle joint consists of 28 bones and is a complex system which provides us with the ability to walk, run and jump. This part of the body is able to adapt to uneven terrain, provide shock absorption and allow for even and stable mobility during the gait (walking) cycle.
The ankle consists of three bones attached by muscles, tendons, and ligaments that connect the foot to the leg. In the lower leg are two bones called the tibia (shin bone) and the fibula.
