Foot & Ankle
Our feet are made from 26 bones and quite 33 joints arranged in columns and arches that change in stiffness and adaptability. Many common problems can occur during this complicated structure. The foot is typically separated into three different parts: the rear of the foot (hindfoot) is formed from your heel bone (calcaneus) and your ankle (talus). They’re joined together by the subtalar joint, which allows your foot to maneuver from side to side. Your ankle bone is joined to your leg bones (tibia and fibula) at your ankle, which acts sort of a hinge. This enables your foot to bend up and dow. The center of the foot (midfoot) is formed from five tarsal bones. These form the arch of your foot. The tarsals are connected to the front and back of your foot by muscles and therefore the arch ligament (the plantar fascia). They act as shock absorbers when we’re walking or running. The front of the foot (forefoot) is formed from your toe bones phalanges, which are connected to 5 long bones (metatarsals) by joints. The joints in your toes don’t move considerably. The forefoot takes half your body’s weight. The muscles in your lower leg are attached to bones in your feet by tendons, and that they control movement that permits us to face, walk, and continue tiptoes and jump.
