Bones of the Foot

The video tutorial by Dr. Morton provides an in-depth look at the anatomy of the foot, focusing on the bones that form it. It covers the tarsal bones, including the talus and calcaneus, and explains their roles and landmarks. The tutorial also discusses the metatarsals and phalanges, highlighting their functions and importance in foot structure and movement. Key joints and ligaments are also explored, providing a comprehensive understanding of foot anatomy.
