The removal of the big toe would require the foot and ankle to be retrained to use different muscles to perform these functions. The most common problems that afflict the big toe are injury through usage, bunions, and arthritis, particularly gouty arthritis.
A bunion is a progressive disorder that causes structural deformity of the bones and forefoot. This, in turn, can cause the hallux to become misaligned from its normal position on the foot. Gout is caused by the deposit of uric acid crystals in the joint, which results in periodic inflammation and pain. Both conditions are treatable. The cuboid bone is one of the seven tarsal bones located on the lateral outer side of the foot. This bone is cube-shaped and connects the foot and…. The flexor digitorum brevis muscle is located in the foot.
Its precise location is within the sole of the foot, directly above the plantar aponeurosis,. The dorsal calcaneocuboid ligament is part of a group of muscular fibers in the foot. As it is fasciculus, the ligament is both small and broad. The dorsal tarsometatarsal ligament is located in the foot. It provides connections among the bones of the feet. Sign in with Apple. Description Toes are the digits of the foot. The toes are, from medial to lateral: The first toe, also known as the hallux "big toe" or "great toe" , the innermost toe The second toe, or "long toe" The third toe, or "middle toe" The fourth toe, or "ring toe" The fifth toe, or "little toe", "pinky toe", or "baby toe" , the outermost toe.

Anatomy of the Foot Each foot is made up of 26 bones, 30 joints and more than muscles, tendons and ligaments, all of which work together to provide support, balance and mobility. Nearly one-fourth of the body's bones are in our feet.
The bones of the feet are: Talus — the bone on top of the foot that forms a joint with the two bones of the lower leg, the tibia and fibula. Calcaneus — the largest bone of the foot, which lies beneath the talus to form the heel bone. Tarsals — five irregularly shaped bones of the midfoot that form the foot's arch.
The tarsal bones are the cuboid, navicular and medial, intermediate and lateral cuneiforms. Metatarsals — five bones labeled one through five, starting with the big toe that make up the forefoot. Phalanges singular: phalanx — the 14 bones that make up the toes. The big toe consists of two phalanges — the distal and proximal. The other toes have three.
Sesamoids — two small, pea-shaped bones that lie beneath the head of the first metatarsal in the ball of the foot. Except for the big toe, each of the toes has three joints, which include: Metatarsophalangeal joint MCP — the joint at the base of the toe Proximal interphalangeal joint PIP — the joint in the middle of the toe Distal phalangeal joint DP — the joint closest to the tip of the toe. Each big toe has two joints: Metatarsophalangeal joint Interphalangeal joint The surfaces of the bones where they meet to form joints are covered with a layer of cartilage, which allows them to glide smoothly against one another as they move.
The main muscles of the foot include the: Tibilias posterior , which supports the foot's arch Tibilias anterior , which allows the foot to move upward Tibilias peroneal , which controls movement on the outside of the ankle Extensors , which help raise the toes, making it possible to take a step Flexors , which help stabilize the toes.
The main ligaments of the foot are: Plantar fascia — the longest ligament of the foot. The ligament, which runs along the sole of the foot, from the heel to the toes, forms the arch. By stretching and contracting, the plantar fascia helps us balance and gives the foot strength for walking. Plantar calcaneonavicular ligament — a ligament of the sole of the foot that connects the calcaneus and navicular and supports the head of the talus.
Calcaneocuboid ligament — the ligament that connects the calcaneus and the tarsal bones and helps the plantar fascia support the arch of the foot.
