Arches of foot are a) Longitudinal arch b) Transverse arch Longitudinal arch – it is subdivided into medial and lateral arches Medial longitudinal arch: Bones forming the arch are : calcaneus, talus, navicular, three cuneiform and medial three meta tarsal bones up to their heads. Summit of the arch – trochlear upper surface of talus Posterior pillar – medial tubercle of calcaneus Anterior pillar – heads of the medial three meta tarsal bones. Most vulnerable part of the medial arch – head of talus – received in front by the concave surf...
