Metatarsal V
Figure 15.11 L-Gauge for use with metatarsal V
Position the L-gauge on the foot so that the inside corner is
at the dot marked previously, the long part is parallel to the
bone - extending to the lower part of the lateral malelus, and
the short part is parallel to the toes. Mark two perpendicular
lines, coinciding with the inside shape of the L-gauge; the
lines meet at the marked dot. Ensure that the gauge is fixed
to the malelus, and that the gauge’s internal corner remains
aligned with the dot marked earlier. The two lines drawn
will be referred to as the “long mark” and the “short mark.”
Figure 15.12 illustrates the marking procedure.

The L-gauge is used for
marking of the Region of
Interest at the metatar-
sal. (The same gauge
that is used for the pha-
lanx).
Draw two perpendicular
lines inside the L-gauge.
The distal prominence of
the metatarsal V is the
meeting point of the two
lines.
