Metatarsus
Definition:
(n.) That part of the skeleton of the hind or lower limb between the tarsus and phalanges; metatarse. It consists, in the human foot, of five bones. See Illustration in Appendix.
Example Sentences:

(2) These functional results justify attempts to maintain weight bearing areas or, at least, the knee, whatever the duration of healing or amputation of a toe or of the metatarsus; in Syme's amputation of the leg, healing requires 2 to 4 months.
(3) One hundred twenty radiographs of the foot were evaluated for hallux abductus angle, lateral talometatarsal angle, and metatarsus primus elevatus position.
(4) The authors describe their operative approach to metatarsus primus adductus deformity when present in conjunction with a congenitally short first metatarsal.

(6) In 21 clinically adducted feet (48%) the main cause of residual deformity was metatarsus varus alone or metatarsus varus in spite of talonavicular overcorrection; in five feet the cause was talonavicular subluxation.
