Foraminifera (âhole bearersâ), foraminifers or forams for short, are a large phylum of amoeboid protozoans (single celled) with reticulating pseudopods, fine strands of cytoplasm that branch and merge to form a dynamic net.
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.
Relevant Anatomy. A plantar or dorsally displaced metatarsal alters the pressure pattern in the forefoot, and an IPK can form in the area of increased pressure. Typically, this is beneath one of the lesser metatarsal heads and can be exacerbated by a hammertoe deformity or hypertrophic metatarsal condyles.
