Athlete's foot is the most common fungal disease, with possibly more than 50% of the population affected at some time. [2] [4] Tinea manuum accounts for less than 2% of all superficial fungal infections. [2] Tinea manuum is rare in both hands. [2] Scenarios with one foot and two hands, and one foot and one hand, have been described. [15]
The navicular bone is a keystone of the foot: it is part of the coxa pedis and articulates with the talus, first, second and third cuneiform, cuboid and calcaneus. It plays an important role in the biomechanics of the foot, helping in inversion, eversion, and motion; it is a structural link between midfoot and forefoot and it is part of the ...
Diabetic foot conditions can be acute or chronic complications of diabetes. [1] Presence of several characteristic diabetic foot pathologies such as infection, diabetic foot ulcer and neuropathic osteoarthropathy is called diabetic foot syndrome. The resulting bone deformity is known as Charcot foot.

Bones of the right foot. Dorsal surface. Metatarsus shown in yellow. The 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. Their bases also articulate with each other at the intermetatarsal joints
Cavus: the foot has a high arch, or a caved appearance. 2 Adductus: the forefoot curves inwards toward the big toe. 3 Varus: the heel is inverted, or turned in, forcing one to walk on the outside of the foot. This is a natural motion but in clubfoot the foot is fixed in this position.
