where are the malleolus
the medial malleolus is on the distal end of the tibia + the lateral malleolus is at the distal end of the fibula
where is the head of the talus

where is the neck of the talus
posterior to the head of the talus
where is the sustentaculum tali
medial side of calcaneus
where is the calcaneus
inferior to the talus (the heel)
where is the navicular
medial side, articulates with distal part of talus
where is the cuboid
Lateral to lateral cuneiform,
Anterior to calcaneus, posterior to 4&5th metatarsals
where is the medal, intermediate and lateral cuneiforms
metatarsals are all anterior to navicular, medial is on medial aspect of foot, intermediate sits in-between, lateral sits in the middle of the foot (medial to the cuboid)
where are the heads, bases and shafts of the metatarsals
head is distal
shaft is the long part of bone
base is proximal
