Understanding Mediotarsal: The Middle Part of the Tarsus

The term "mediotarsal" refers to the middle part of the tarsus, which is a bone in the foot. The tarsus is a group of seven bones that form the hindfoot and ankle. The mediotarsal bone is one of these bones, located between the calcaneus (heel bone) and the cuboid bone. It helps to form the arch of the foot and provides support for the body's weight.

In medical language, "mediotarsal" can be used to describe any condition or injury that affects the middle part of the tarsus. For example, a mediotarsal fracture is a break in one of the bones of the hindfoot, typically occurring between the heel bone and the cuboid bone.
