Broken Foot

A Broken Foot is a break in any of the bones in the foot.

The foot is made up of 26 small bones. The tarsus is the name for the 7 bones that make up the hindfoot and the midfoot. The forefoot consists of the 5 metatarsals and the 14 phalanges. There are two phalanges in the big toe and three in each of the remaining toes.

A Broken Foot can happen in any foot bone, but metatarsal fractures are the most common.
