metatarsal
A metatarsal bone is one of the long bones in your foot.
You might hear doctors or athletes talking about metatarsal fractures or sprains. This happens when they put too much pressure on their feet, like when they jump or land heavily during sports. In everyday life, you might not think about your metatarsals unless you're walking a lot or experiencing foot pain. Some people even wear special shoes or insoles to help take care of their metatarsals and prevent injuries.
