The Bones of the Foot consist of 7 tarsal bones in the posterior and middle portions of the foot, and 5 metatarsals and 14 phalanges in the anterior portion.

The tarsal bones, often called 'ankle bones', articulate with the bones of the leg and form the skeleton of the heel and mid portion of the foot. Identify the talus with its articular surface and the large calcaneus which projects backwards to form the heel.

The metatarsals and phalanges are similar to corresponding bones in the hand in number and position.
