Definition
'Metatarsal' refers to the five long bones in your foot, located between your ankle bones (tarsals) and your toe bones (phalanges). They provide support and structure to the foot, enabling you to stand, walk, and run. Think of them as the mid-foot bones that connect your ankle to your toes. They play a crucial role in balance and weight distribution. Taking care of your metatarsals is essential for foot health. ðĶķ
