Lower extremity - Intermidate (2nd) cuneiform –

smallest cuneiform
1. Foot Consist of 26 bones
Metatarsal
Phalanges – 14
Metatarsal – 5 - Numbered with 1 on medial
Tarsal – 7 side
- -5 on the lateral side
Tarsal  3 parts of metatarsal
Calcaneus – OS Calcis  Head – the small

Aches of the foot
- The bones of the foot are
arrange in longitudinal and
transverse arches
- Comprises medial and lateral
Transverse Arches
- Located primarily along the
plantar surface of the distal
tarsals and tarsometatarsal
joints
- Wedged shape cuneiforms
Sesamoid bones

muscle behind the lateral
condyle of the femur
Thigh bone
- femur
- Heaviest bone in the body
Femoral shaft is at angle of
approximately 10 deg. From vertical
for an average adult (5 to 15 deg.)
