Bone	Centres	Time of appearance of centre	Time of fusion: general remarks
Talus		6th fetal month (Hasselwander)	In the 7th-8th year the posterior part of the talus, the os trigonum, is frequently ossified from a special centre (v. Bardeleben). It fuses about the 18th year.
Cuboid		About birth
Cuneiform III		1st year
Cuneiform I		2d-3d year
Cuneiform II		3d-4th year
Navicular		4th-5th year
Metatarsals	Diaphyses	8th-10th week	According to v. Bardeleben a second centre of ossincation appears much later than the primary in the navicular, and finally about the time of puberty a medial epiphyseal centre arises.
	Epiphyses	3d-8th year	The centre for the 2d metatarsal usually appears first, then come the 3rd, 4th, 1st and 5th. The epiphysis of the 1st metatarsal appears at the proximal end of the bone: the other epiphyses arise at the distal ends of the metatarsals. There may be a distal epiphysis in the first metatarsal also.(ref 17) In some instances a proximal epiphysis is formed on the tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal (Gruber). The epiphyses unite with the shafts in the 17-21 year in males and in the 14-19 year in females. (Hasselwander).
Phalanges:
Terminal row	Diaphyses	58th day (Mall)
	Epiphyses (distal)	4th year	M 13-23, average 16-21 year. F 13-17, average 14-17 year (Hasselwander).
Middle row	Diaphyses	4th-10th fetal month
	Epiphyses	3d year	M 15-19 year F 13-16 year (Hasselwander)
Proximal row	Diaphyses	3d fetal month
	Epiphyses	3d year	M 15-17 year. F 14-15 year (Hasselwander) The centres for the shafts of the phalanges often appear double, one for the dorsal and one for the plantar surface. The centres for the medial phalanges in each row usually appear before the more laterally placed centres. The centre for the 5th terminal phalanx appears much later than the other centres in this row (Mall). According to Rambaud and Renault the epiphyses arise each from two centres which fuse together. In the terminal phalanx of the great toe the ossification centre of the epiphysis often appears as early as the second or even the first year. (Hasselwander)
Sesamoid bones of the great toe		M 14th year F 12th-13th year	Ossification may begin in the 8th year in females, in the 11th in males (Hasselwander).

Ref - Mayet has described two centres of ossification for the proximal epiphysis of the first metatarsal, one of which represents the real metatarsal of the first digit.
