The joints of the foot are articulations found in the distal lower extremity.They include the ankle and interphalangeal articulations of the foot.The flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus flex the interphalangeal joint of the big toe and lateral four toes respectively. The tendons of both of these muscles cross as they reach their distal attachments. In other words the flexor hallucis longus arises laterally while the flexor digitorum longus arises medially.
