The word "tarsals" is the name of the ankle. "Metatarsals" (meta = after) are the bones of the foot. There is a "Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome" which is similar to the Carple Tunnel Syndrome only 'tarsal' means the problem is in the ankle and 'carple' means it's in the wrist.
The ankle is the talocrural joint. It is usually just refered to as the ankle.
