| Digits 1 and 2 on the forefeet are opposable to digits 3-5, and the hindfoot has a well-developed hallux. |
| They suggest that children with flat-feet tend to walk with a reduced compliance in the loading response phase due to the impaired function of the hindfoot. |
| Most species have three digits on the hindfoot and three or four on the forefoot, but in some only a single digit, the third, remains. |
| The current method of retrieving the tendon through the hindfoot often limits the amount of tendon able to be harvested. |
| Epiphyseal equivalents include apophysis, patella, small bones of the wrist, and hindfoot and midfoot. |
| They are used to help control ankle pronation and hindfoot valgus position. |
