    The bones of the tarsus are the rear most bones in the adjacent diagram: calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, medial cuneiform, intermediate cuneiform and lateral cuneiform bones. [9] These bones create the two major foot joints – the subtalar and midtarsal joints – that allow complex motions to occur in the feet. These motions are ...
