Foot and ankle bones

Let's have a look at the bones of the ankle and foot. What are the main bones supporting your body weight? Where is the talus and what does it do? What are all the other tarsal bones called? Which is which? Let's find out, and talk about some of the movements that occur here too.

he looked a little stressed out in this video, i hope all is good mate ! nice video

[@dreamscometrue8172]

it is 2020 and because of the pandemic, I am taking online anatomy classes. I would really love to practise and study the bones structures with real skeletons but the only way I can really examine bones is by watching your videos. They are really helpful and thank you for your educational videos they really help especially in quarantine.... who would have thought!

[@elizabethwang7408]

I love his teaching style! Very clear, I appreciate that he explained the function of each bone and how it can be hurt. Not just the names. Thank you so much!

[@virtuallyveganlifestyle3990]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. They're extremely helpful 🙏🏽💜🖖🏾

[@fortheloveofbrum3106]

What a beautiful opening shot.

[@SanaKhan-wf4ec]

LOVE LOVE LOVE these videos! You're amazing

[@charitosinco5425]

I love all your video explaining human bones.

[@montanamakhoba2193]

thank you soo much sam....you are really a lifesaver

[@sidrens5292]

The drilling going when showing the diagram of foot 🤣 not the best time to film a You Tube video! In all seriousness, great video as always and tremendous help! 🙌🏼👏🏼

[@i-wei5328]

Hi can you do the ligaments of the foot pretty please? 🦶

[@ahmedalkamel121]

the view in the intro is perfect , i love it more😍😍

[@JLF2305]

Great video. Great teaching. Thanks

[@areh0670]

Keep going 👍🏻🤩 Thank you

[@shaniasaunders5459]

Thank you so much for these videos!

[@kathykitten6]

Excellent! Thank you!

Good teachers are the foundation of of a healthy society and economy, because they make learning not only easy, but a joy, firing your interest instead of reducing the lesson to a dull chore. This explanation of the different bones in the foot, how they are connected and their function is a good example. I never realised the purpose of the arches - acting both as a shock absorber when landing and literally putting the 'spring' in your step as you lift. Goes to show what an amazing design the human body is. Thanks a lot for this great video.

[@gaurav2009june]

Many thanks for this wonderful and informative video.

[@User-to7nb]

when he mentioned why we have arches... my mind was blown

[@mohamedorayith4626]

Dawn wait why do we have arches?

[@marija0001]

So helpful!! Thank you !!!!

[@conniecasas4955]

Gracias Doc!

[@vnshenoy5635]

Thanks for the informative videos, very interesting and we'll explained.

[@billbright1755]

The combination of the arch’s form a hemispheric shape. What genius went into this design. The mortise and tenon aspect is designed to loosen in plantar flexion and tighten in dorsal flexion.

nice one thanks

Thank-you

i appreciated the intro drone shot with the reveal...

[@erinmilitello7748]

These r amazing! Thank u thank u thank you Sam Webster!

[@thehealthjunkie8996]

I like the idea of the marking your own foot on paper.

[@maryyousufzai7693]

You're a gem sir💕💕

[@tubedance]

The past few weeks I had increasing pain in the inner/medial "arch" of my foot. Please let me know if I'm explaining the location correctly. There is a dull moderate pain under the head of the (big toe) metatarsal where the sesamoid bones sit, the shaft of the metatarsal is ok but there is pain and swelling where the base meets the medial cuneiform bone (the first "bump" on medial side). There is pain at the top and side of this "joint" area. Kneeling (with toes bent) triggers severe pain and walking eventually leads to limping. I recently began easy to moderate level line dancing so this may have triggered this condition. Thank you for your input!

[@mahikarsai]

Feels like u had a part in creating humans ! How can you make every thing seem so easy ?

[@farhatullahgul5067]

Love you Sir

[@elkedevos4067]

Hi Sam, great video! I have a question: is the os trigonum the same as the proc. posterior tali?

[@janemagpie9489]

What if the plantar fascia has disappeared? What if fatty tisue has disappeared? How would the foot function then? Could it function?

[@turkersoykan5695]

Sağolasın Sam abi!

[@bublisoniyak6227]

🙌🙌🙌 thank yyou sir!

[@Userhjk5885]

well explained

[@magicnotestamil3145]

Super sir

[@virtuallyveganlifestyle3990]

@SamWebster My 12 Yr old son has pes plano valgus.. Please give you personal opinion in what action we can take to minimise damage. We are getting pronator trainers.. But what exercises work best and anything else we should do? Thank you 🙏🏽💜🖖🏾

[@stevep764]

Cheers

[@bridgetkreiter8669]

Could you provide a link to the 3D printed model?

[@yaramohammed7061]

I love how you explain anatomy in a very sipmle funny way and i lettraly enjoyed every single video dr Sam , but in this video your voice seems quite different it sounds amazing ❤️ reminds me of Phebe when she got flu 🤣❤️❤️ your deep tone is spectacular ❤️❤️ l loved it

[@asgeirnilsen6752]

My kid has some bones bones in her feet growing together, which results in that the feet is trying to rotate inward. It is painful and gives a handicap when it comes to walking/running. I understand that often this is not a condition that doctors want to operate ( in my country). But in my mind, I do not understand why the bones can not be separated and formed the way they should have been. But there is probably a good reason. 25 years ago I was in a car accident, and got a 180 degrees rotation in my ankle. It was operated and was OK in 5-10 years time. The doctors first wanted to amputate the foot by the ankle. But they gave it a chance.

[@nyawirawaithaka4993]

Thank you!

[@mohamedorayith4626]

could someone explain differently why its harder to eversion and inversion the foot during plantar flexion? thank you

[@moment4me123]

It's easier to invert during plantar flexion because of the less closely packed position of the bones, plus the fact that we have less support at the medial component of the talocrural joint than at the lateral component (due to fibula extending decently far down). so we often get inversion ankle sprains during plantar flexion because of the less stability that this foot position provides, plus the absence of as much bony stability as is present on the lateral side. It is harder to evert and invert during dorsiflexion because you've got pretty tight bony contact and stability in this position. I hope this helps!!!

[@valeaves]

Alexandra Szabla Just wanna add: the posterior part of the Trochlea tali (which is articulating with the Tibia and Fibula) is a bit smaller, so it‘s easier to invert and evert your foot when said foot is plantarflexed as there‘s then more space between all the bones (which was mentioned before). So just wanted to explain WHY there‘s more space in plantarflexion than in dorsiflexion^^

[@carolewright563]

Absolutely love your videos Sam 🙏Sense of humour goes a long way 😃 Could you suggest a good company to purchase The Skeleton and muscular anatomy etc?

[@jemimahrajakumar7770]

Wow, I didnt know the medial arch is so important! I seem to have flat feet but Im not sure, when I raise my foot I can see a good arch but when I place my foot on the floor all parts of my foot seem to touch the floor. Should I do something about this, and what should I do?

[@ABSlaney]

Dear Sam, could you recommend where to purchase a foot’s bones model ?

[@graceshepherd9561]

Hey Sam, can you please make a video on the ligaments of the foot? Thank you :)

[@marufaakter5654]

Sir thia voice quality is good

[@lukeandrews4424]

Hi Sam I shattered my talus bone and had a dislocated foot 5 weeks ago got an X-ray in 1 week which hopefully I can start movement in my foot again, my surgeon and doctors i have seen will only tell me I got a long recovery and nothing else which is annoying can you be helpful and give me your opinion on recovery? Thanks Luke

[@SamWebster]

No, sorry. This is biology - we're all different & we don't know everything so it's difficult to predict repair. Be patient. I've broken bits of myself and it's hard to be patient.

your voice seems different here in this video

[@andrewmcfarlane3274]

Different Microphone

[@michaelb1785]

What's your feelings about shoes, running shoes, high heel shoes, cushioning shoes, and no shoes?

[@jvdv5107]

I have to point out that in- and eversion are movements that are allowed in the foot primarly by the subtalar joint, not so much in the talocrural joint.

[@SamWebster]

Thank you, you're quite right. Some of the movement of inversion and eversion also occurs in the other intertalar joints. I didn't give a very accurate demonstration of this, probably thinking more about trying to show that the tibiotalar joint is a bit wobblier during plantarflexion than the textbooks often suggest, which contributes to some ankle ligament injuries with inversion of the foot. Cheers!

[@hughgrant4778]

When discussing inversion and eversion of the foot, you never mentioned that this movement is done by the subtalar

[@MuhammadAhsan-mp8hq]

❤️🔥

[@MrAlldevices]

I love u

[@zartashiasa]

Hi Sam It's a very good video. Very informative. I think I fractured my fifth metatarsal. I walked too long and was too tired one day and suddenly I felt something painful in the foot. The bone is more visible and sticking more out under the skin. Is it supposed to heal itself? I'm going to the doctor soon but I don't want an operation. Best Regards Zartashia Saleem

[@SamWebster]

Thanks! There are a number of sticky out bits on the foot. Compare to the other foot. Stress fractures typically heal ok but the fifth metatarsal might need a cast. Your doctor will be the best person to advise you. Good luck!

[@andrescarlett9730]

God is amazing 🤩

Mortis?

[@palteonato]

I need a 3d model like that

[@pimcpakinternationalmedica8770]

what is the place in the start?

[@SamWebster]

Swansea University, in Wales. This is where I teach anatomy.

[@sobster123]

He looks a lil sik here

[@user-od8qf5ok1n]

All due respect, but fibula is also a weight-bearing structure - about 15 % of the weght put on the lower limb. Duh.
