Apply Plaster to Wall. Stir the Venetian plaster (Image 1). Drop a dollop of plaster on one spatula (Image 2). Using the second spatula, scrape off some plaster and spread it in a quick, circular motion on the wall (Image 3). Continue this process across the entire area. Some of the bare wall will show through the plaster, but this will be covered later.
The joints between the metatarsals and the first phalanx is called the metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP). These joints form the ball of the foot, and movement in these joints is very important for a normal walking pattern. Not much motion occurs at the joints between the bones of the toes. The big toe, or hallux, is the most important toe for walking, and the first MTP joint is a common area for problems in the foot.
Between the heads of the metatarsal bones and the bottoms of the proximal phalanges (your toe bones) are the metatarsophalangeal joints. In other words, metatarsophalangeal joints connect your toe bones to your foot bones. These joints are surrounded by a thin joint capsule and have ligaments that support them. It's good to know, too, that the first metatarsophalangeal joint is commonly known as the big toe joint while the little toe joint is known as the fifth metatarsophalangeal joint. 1  The first metatarsal (big toe) also articulates with (or connects with) two sesamoid bones on the plantar surface of the foot (the bottom of the foot).
