Abstract		The foot is an incredibly complex mechanism. The skeleton of the foot and ankle begins with the ankle joint itself. The two bones of the lower leg, the large tibia and the smaller fibula come together at the ankle joint to form a very stable mortise and tenon type joint. The mortise and tenon construct is well known to carpenters and craftsmen who use this joint in the construction of everything from furniture to large buildings. The construct is very stable. The two bones that make up the hindfoot are the talus and the calcaneus. The talus is connected to the calcaneus at the subtalar joint. The ankle joint allows the foot to bend up and down. The subtalar ioint allows the foot to rock from side to side.
