Bones of the foot (English)

The hindfoot is the most proximal group, and includes only two bones: the talus and calcaneus. The talus forms the ankle joint superiorly with the tibia and fibula, while the calcaneus forms the heel. Anterior to the talus and calcaneus is the next set of tarsal bones that belong to the midfoot: the navicular, cuboid and three cuneiform bones (lateral, intermediate, and medial). The last group of bones makes up the forefoot, and include the metatarsal bones and phalanges. There are three consecutive sets of phalanges for each toe (proximal, middle and distal), except for the great toe that contains two phalanges (proximal and distal).
