Next time you and your friends are attending a pub or school quiz evening and the questioner asks, with a smug grin, how many bones are there in the feet, you will immediately remember reading this blog and whisper positively to your group – there are 26 bones in each foot! Everyone will be impressed and congratulate you for getting the team a point. If the follow on question is to name them all, then good luck remembering all these… Talus, which connects with the Tibia at the ankle, Calcaneus, the heel bone, Navicular, Cuboid and 3 Cuneiforms which make up the middle of the foot, 5 Metatarsals, yes the ones that footballers break and 14 Phalanges, the toes which when added total 26. If you get all these right then you deserve a drink on the house!
