In the human body, the tarsus is a cluster of seven articulating bones in each foot situated between the lower end of the tibia and the fibula of the lower leg and the metatarsus.
It is made up of the midfoot (cuboid, medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiform, and navicular) and hindfoot (talus and calcaneus).
The tarsus articulates with the bones of the metatarsus, which in turn articulate with the proximal phalanges of the toes.
The joint between the tibia and fibula above and the tarsus below is referred to as the ankle joint proper.
In humans the largest bone in the tarsus is the calcaneus, which is the weight-bearing bone within the heel of the foot.
