toe joints

Foot digit hinges

The toe joints are the points where bones of the toes connect, allowing the toes to bend and flex.

Each toe has multiple joints—the big toe has two, while the other toes have three each.

These joints enable walking, balance, and gripping motions.

Toe joints are common sites for arthritis, gout, and bunions.
