Flashcards: Foot

Club foot or clubfoot, also called Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV), is a congenital deformity involving one foot or both.

The talus bone (/ˈteɪləs/; Latin for ankle), astragalus /əˈstræɡələs/, or ankle bone is one of the group of foot bones known as the tarsus.

Flat feet (also called pes planus or fallen arches) is a postural deformity in which the arches of the foot collapse, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground.

Podiatry (/poʊˈdaɪətri/) or podiatric medicine (/poʊdiˈætrᵻk/ or /poʊˈdaɪətrᵻk/) is a branch of medicine devoted to the study of, diagnosis, and medical and surgical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle and lower extremity.

Barefoot is the most common term for the state of not wearing any footwear.

Foot binding was the custom of applying painfully tight binding to the feet of young girls to prevent further growth.

Foot fetishism, foot partialism, foot worship, or podophilia is a pronounced sexual interest in feet.

Toes are the digits of the foot of a tetrapod.

In humans, the calcaneus (/kælˈkeɪniːəs/; from the Latin calcaneus or calcaneum, meaning heel) or heel bone is a bone of the tarsus of the foot which constitutes the heel.

The ankle, or the talocrural region, is the region where the foot and the leg meet.

The foot (plural feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates.

The heel is the prominence at the posterior end of the foot.

The metatarsal bones, or metatarsus are a group of five long bones in the foot, located between the tarsal bones of the hind- and mid-foot and the phalanges of the toes.

Plantar fasciitis is a disorder that results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot.

In the human body, the cuboid bone is one of the seven tarsal bones of the foot.

The navicular bone /nəˈvɪkjᵿlər/ is a small bone found in the feet of most mammals.

Pes cavus (in medical terminology, also high instep, high arch, talipes cavus, cavoid foot, and supinated foot type) is a human foot type in which the sole of the foot is distinctly hollow when bearing weight.

The sole is the bottom of the foot.

The interosseous muscles of the foot are muscles found near the metatarsal bones that help to control the toes.

The interphalangeal joints of the foot are between the phalanges (bones) of the toes.

The flexor retinaculum of foot (laciniate ligament, internal annular ligament) is a strong fibrous band, extending from the bony ankle prominence (malleolus) above, to the margin of the heelbone (calcaneus) below, converting a series of bony grooves in this situation into canals for the passage of the tendons of the flexor muscles and the posterior tibial vessels and tibial nerve into the sole of the foot.

In human anatomy, the subtalar joint, also known as thetalocalcaneal joint, is a joint of the foot.

The calcaneocuboid joint is the joint between the calcaneus and the cuboid bone.

The Calcaneocuboid ligament is a fibrous band that connects the superior surface of the calcaneus to the dorsal surface of the cuboid bone.

The collateral ligaments of the metatarsophalangeal articulations are strong fibrous bands that are found on both sides of each metatarsophalangeal joint.

The dorsal cuneocuboid ligament consists of fibrous bands that connect the dorsal surfaces of the cuboid and lateral surfaces of the cuneiform bones

The interosseous cuneocuboid ligament consists of a series of fibrous bands that connect the central portion of the cuboid to the lateral surfaces of the cuneiform bones.

The Interosseous cuneometatarsal ligaments are fibrous bands that connect the adjacent surfaces of the cuneiform and the metatarsal bones.

The Plantar cuneocuboid ligament is a fibrous band that connects the plantar surfaces of the cuboid to the lateral surface of the cuneiform bones.

A Shanghai pedicure is a type of pedicure.

The arches of the foot, formed by the tarsal and metatarsal bones, strengthened by ligaments and tendons, allow the foot to support the weight of the body in the erect posture with the least weight.

The intertarsal joint are the joints of the tarsal bones in the foot.
