ANKLE & FOOT Flashcards
what is the ankle & foot made up of?
tarsal bones
metatarsal bones
phalanges
tarsal bones
talus
calcaneus
navicular
cuneiforms
cuboid
3 parts of the talus
head (articular surfaces)
neck (talus sulcus)
body (trochlea, processes)
TALUS - head: articular surfaces for…

medial malleolus
lateral malleolus
TALUS - neck
talus sulcus

trochlea
posterior process: medial & lateral tubercle
lateral process
CALCANEUS - body: articular surfaces…
superior, anterior, middle, posterior facets for talus
facet for cuboid
