Great toe• On the plantar (bottom) surface of
the great toe there are sesamoid bones
Phalanges• Each phalanx is the size it
needs to be for weight bearing purposes.
• Which is the smallest?• Largest?
Metatarsals• There are 5 metatarsals in the foot
• 1,2,3,4,51

Head and base• Each bone has a Head and a base.
The head is the superior aspect of the bone and the base in the inferior aspect of the bone in
this picture. Head
Base
The Base of the 5th metatarsalis called Styloid process
Athletic trainers are concerned about this when taping an ankle.
3 Cuneiforms 1,2,3
Cuboid
Navicular
Talus
Calcaneus- thickest ankle bone
There are 7 Tarsals Bones• 3 Cuneiforms 1,2,3
• Cuboid-connected to 2 metatarsal
• Navicular-connected to 3 cuneiforms
• Talus-must PF the ankle to be able to palpate it.• Calcaneus-responsible for heel strike
TibiaLocated on the
medial side of the lower leg.
**Femur rests on HEAD of the tibia
Medial malleolus-BASE of the tibia
Medial malleolus
Tibia continued• The top of tibia has
medial and lateral epicondyles
• Tibial tuberosity-bump on superior middle aspect of tibia. The patellar tendon attaches to it.
Osgood schlatters
• A condition where the patellar tendon pulls on tibial tuberosity causing a bump in the lower leg.
Severe Osgood Schlatters
Fibula• Located on
the lateral side of the lower leg
• Lateral malleolus-BASE of the fibula
Common peroneal nerve• Wraps around
the head of the fibula.
• *MUST USE CAUTION WHEN ICING
THICKEST BONE IN BODY
Rests on the tibia.

Patella• Free floating
bone located in the middle of the knee
• Patellar tendon and quadriceps muscle attach to it.
