It is the distal continuation of its body and contains a distal articular facet, which articulates with the articular facet of the distal phalanx of third toe, forming the distal interphalangeal joint of the third toe.
The head of middle phalanx of third toe provides attachment sites for the collateral, accessory collateral and plantar ligaments of the distal interphalangeal joint of the third toe.
