Each human foot is made up of 26 bones, 30 joints and a large number of muscles, ligaments and tendons, which all work in unison to bear weight and aid in body propulsion during gait. The human foot can be functionally divided into three parts (Fig. 29.1): Forefoot, Midfoot and Hindfoot. The hindfoot consists of talus and calcaneum. The midfoot consists of the tarsal bones. The forefoot consists of metatarsals and phalanges.
