Calcaneocuboid joint: is formed between the front of the calcaneus and the posterior surface of the cuboid bone. Cuneonavicular joint: is formed between the navicular bone and the three cuneiform bones.
Cuboideonavicular joint: is formed between the cuboid and navicular bones. Tarsometatarsal joints: are formed between the tarsal bones and the bases of the metatarsal bones. Intermetatarsal joints: involve the bases of the metatarsal bones. Interphalangeal joints: These joints connect the phalanges. Strong, outspoken and engaged volunteers will help us conquer arthritis.
