The metatarsal bones, or metatarsus are a group of five long bones in the foot, located between the tarsal bones of the hind-and mid-foot and the phalanges of the toes.he base of each metatarsal bone articulates with one or more of the tarsal bones at the tarsometatarsal joints, and the head with one of the first row of phalanges at the metatarsophalangeal joints.
Anatomy of the Metatarsophalangeal Joints. The head of each metatarsal bone connects to the proximal phalanx bones of the toes. The metatarsal head is rounded while the phalanx is concave. The first metatarsal (big toe) also articulates with two sesamoid bones on the plantar surface (facing the sole of the foot). There is a thin joint capsule for each of the joints and ligaments that support it.
