tarsometatarsal joints
There are five tarsometatarsal (TMT) joints in the foot. These are divided into three columns. The medial column is formed by the 1st metatarsal bone and the medial cuneiform. The middle column is formed by the 2nd and 3rd metatarsals aligning with the middle and lateral cuneiforms respectively. The lateral column is formed by the 4th and 5th metatarsals and the cuboid. While these joints do not have the extensive range of motion which is present in other joints, they nevertheless can be a source of pain when degeneration of the cartilage is present.
