  2. Tarsus (skeleton) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsus_(skeleton)

    The tarsus articulates with the bones of the metatarsus, which in turn articulate with the proximal phalanges of the toes. The joint between the tibia and fibula above and the tarsus below is referred to as the ankle joint proper. In humans the largest bone in the tarsus is the calcaneus, which is the weight-bearing bone within the heel of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsometatarsal_joints

    The synovial membrane between the second and third cuneiforms behind, and the second and third metatarsal bones in front, is part of the great tarsal synovial membrane. Two prolongations are sent forward from it, one between the adjacent sides of the second and third, and another between those of the third and fourth metatarsal bones.

  4. Arches of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arches_of_the_foot

    The height of a person's arch is determined by the height of the navicular bone. Collapse of the longitudinal arches results in what is known as flat feet . [ 5 ] A person with a low longitudinal arch, or flat feet will likely stand and walk with their feet in a pronated position , where the foot everts or rolls inward.

  6. Talus bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talus_bone

    The talus is the second largest of the tarsal bones; [4] it is also one of the bones in the human body with the highest percentage of its surface area covered by articular cartilage. It is also unusual in that it has a retrograde blood supply, i.e. arterial blood enters the bone at the distal end. [citation needed]

  8. Calcaneus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcaneus

    In humans, the calcaneus is the largest of the tarsal bones and the largest bone of the foot. Its long axis is pointed forwards and laterally. [2] The talus bone, calcaneus, and navicular bone are considered the proximal row of tarsal bones. [3] In the calcaneus, several important structures can be distinguished: [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertarsal_joints

    The intertarsal joint are the joints of the tarsal bones in the foot. There are six specific inter tarsal joints (articulations) in the human foot: Subtalar joint; Talocalcaneonavicular joint; Calcaneocuboid joint; Cuneonavicular joint; Cuboideonavicular joint; Intercuneiform joints
