Structure of the Forefoot. The forefoot is one of the three primary regions of the foot, in addition to the midfoot and the rearfoot (or hindfoot). It is composed of tendons, ligaments, soft tissue and 19 bones in five toes, also known as the phalanges. Phalanges.
The forefoot is composed of the five toes (called phalanges) and their connecting long bones (metatarsals). Each toe (phalanx) is made up of several small bones. The big toe (also known as the hallux) has two phalanx bonesâdistal and proximal. It has one joint, called the interphalangeal joint.The big toe articulates with the head of the first metatarsal and is called the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ for short). Underneath the first metatarsal head are two tiny, round bones called sesamoids. The other four toes each have three bones and two joints.he big toe articulates with the head of the first metatarsal and is called the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ for short).
