What's the difference between metatarsus and tarsometatarsus?
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:

(17) At birth, metatarsus adductus was found to be more frequent in twins than in single infants (41% vs 16%; P less than 0.01), but occurred with equal frequency in single preterm and term infants (16% vs 12%).

(19) This paper reports the stabilization of an open comminuted fracture of the metatarsus of a rare white Arabian oryx using an original Ilisarov-fixator.
(20) Although many papers have been written on metatarsus adductus, few have used radiographic criteria for either the diagnosis of or in determining correction of metatarsus adductus.
Tarsometatarsus
Definition:
(n.) The large bone next the foot in the leg of a bird. It is formed by the union of the distal part of the tarsus with the metatarsus.
Example Sentences:
(1) The structural and mechanical properties of the runners' tarsometatarsus bones were compared with sedentary age-matched controls at 8 and 12 wk of age.
(2) A significantly greater proportion of growth plates of the tarsometatarsus was closed in the control as compared to the lame turkeys.
(3) The vascular pattern was modified at different stages of growth and there were anastomoses between epiphyseal vascular canals in the proximal tarsometatarsus.
(4) Two groups, each of 25 Hubbard broiler chicks, were individually raised in cages for 49 d. The tarsometatarsus length at 1-d old and finishing point, food utilisation and finishing body weight were recorded and statistically analysed.
(5) When the leg buds from chick embryos at stages 17-23 were cultured as organ cultures in F12 medium, which contained chick serum and an extract of chick embryos, leg cartilage structures developed that included pelvic girdle, femur, tibiofibula, and tarsometatarsus.
(6) Muscles related to the third rotated factor flex the tarsometatarsus of flex more digits simultaneously, while muscles related to the second rotated factor flex a single digit or extend the tarsometatarus.
(7) Body weight, width, and length of the tarsometatarsus, presence of tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) lesions, pancreas weight, and plasma glucose did not differ between lame and control turkeys.
(8) The vascular morphology of the proximal femur, tibiotarsus and tarsometatarsus was studied in growing broiler chicks.
(9) The growth rates of each extremity of the tibiotarsus (TibT) and tarsometatarsus (TMT) bones and of a phalangeal bone were measured in Rhode Island red chicks.
(10) Epidermal-dermal recombinations were carried out by exchanging normal tissues with those treated with BrdU in the anterior tarsometatarsus.
(11) In the non-load-bearing limb lesions most frequently occurred in the bone extremities of the distal tibiotarsus and proximal tarsometatarsus.
(12) The origin and nature of vascular canals in the distal tibiotarsus and proximal tarsometatarsus of the fowl have been described.
(13) Growth of body mass, femur, tibiotarsus, and tarsometatarsus length as well as the diameter of muscle fibers in the M. pectoralis were measured in (Large White) female turkeys between birth and day 224.
(14) 99% of growth had occurred in the tarsometatarsus length on day 109, femur length on day 117, tibiotarsus length on day 138, diameter of muscle fibers on day 166, and the body mass on day 231.
