the bones that make ankle joint are tibia (shin bone), fibula and talus. the rest of the bones listed below are bones of foot
Tarsals: Talus - is the most proximal tarsal bone. It has a smooth, rounded joint surface that articulates with the tibia. Calcaneus - this is the largest, most posterior tarsal, the one that forms the heel. The Achilles tendon attaches to this bone Navicular - is another boat-shaped bone like the carpal of the same name. It is on the medial surface of the foot, just distal to the talus. Cuboid - is a bone that is roughly cube shaped. It lies lateral to the navicular. Cuneiforms first, second and third - are three small stick-like bones. They articulate with the proximal phalanges of the medial three toes. Their identifying numbers increase from medial to lateral like the metatarsals, but don't get their first, second, third designation mixed up with the I, II, III naming of the metatarsals.
Metatarsals: Metatarsals I to V - warning, these bones are numbered differently from the metacarpals. The big toe side (medial) is I and the little toe side is V (lateral). These bones form the anterior part of the arch of the foot.
Phalanges: Proximal phalanges - as in the hand, the foot has 14 phalanges. Again, they are individually identified with a Roman numeral (I-V) and the designations proximal, middle or distal. The proximal phalanges articulate with the metatarsals. Middle phalanges - this one is absent from the big toe. Distal phalanges - these small phalanges are found in the tips of the toes.
