Beneath the point

Fourth metatarsal bone · Fifth metatarsal bone · Dorsal interossei muscles of foot · Tendon of extensor digitorum longus

Our 3D measurement · In our 3D model: dorsal foot skin between the fourth and fifth metatarsals, just behind the head of the fourth metatarsal (at 87% of its length).

2How do I find it on my body?

From the web between the 4th and 5th toes, follow the groove back toward the ankle.
Pass the joint at the base of the 4th toe (4th metatarsophalangeal joint).
Press the hollow just behind that joint.

📖 Words explained

tendon of extensor digitorum longus: The four strands the extensor digitorum longus splits into on the top of the foot. Lift your toes and they stand out like cords.
metatarsophalangeal joint: The joint where a metatarsal meets the first bone of a toe, the root joint of the toe. Bend the toes and you feel it as a round knuckle on the top of the foot.
