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.
