Best Answer

The ankle bones (tarsals) would be considered to be short bones, so the long bones of the foot would be the metatarsals and the phalanges. There are five metatarsals and two phalanges for the big toe but three for all the others. This would make a total of 19 bones (5+2+3x4). In some people, the last two phalanges of the little toe may be fused.
