Where is the distal first metatarsal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foot: The metatarsals are the long bones in the midfoot which end just before the toe begins. The first metatarsal is the bone which attaches the big toe. The distal portion of the bone is just before the joint where the big toe begins.
