Summary

The foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles and tendons; therefore, it is not a surprise that it is one of the commonest causes for parents to see a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon. At birth, the talus, calcaneus, cuboid, metatarsals, and phalanges are ossified, whereas the navicular and three cuneiforms are not (see Chapter 3, Figure 3.11). The lateral cuneiform ossifies at 1 year, the medial cuneiform at 2 years, and the intermediate cuneiform at 3 years. The navicular bone ossifies between 2 and 5 years [1].
