Study Notes
Tarsal Bones
- The proximal tarsal bones are the talus and calcaneus.
- The intermediate tarsal bone is the navicular.
- The distal tarsals are the cuboid and three cuneiform bones (lateral, intermediate, and medial).
- A useful mnemonic to remember the tarsal bones is: Tiger Cubs Need MILC (Talus, Calcaneus, Navicular, Medial cuneiform, Intermediate cuneiform, Lateral cuneiform, Cuboid).
Metatarsal Bones
- The metatarsal bones are a group of five long bones located in the metatarsus of the foot.
- They are numbered from one to five, starting with the first metatarsal beneath the big toe and moving laterally towards the fifth metatarsal beneath the little toe.
Phalanges
- Each toe consists of three phalanges, which are named the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges.
- The hallux (great toe) only has two phalanges, a proximal and a distal one.
- Occasionally, there are only two phalanges in the little toe.
- The phalanges are also known as the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges.
