A groove for the tendon of the peroneus longus crosses its lateral and plantar surface, and above it are one or two tubercles. The tuber calcis fuses with the body of the bone at fourteen or fifteen months. Five metatarsal bones are present. The first is commonly very small and has the form of a blunt cone, somewhat compressed laterally. It articulates with the.
