Talus

The most superior of the tarsal bones and the one that articulates with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint.


The top bone in the tarsus which articulates with the tibia and fibula in the leg, and with the calcaneus in the heel.


Bone of the ankle; it articulates with the tibia and fibula of the lower leg and with the calcaneus (heelbone) below; also called astragalus; ankle bone.


The first tarsal bone and the largest of the bones of the ankle, which articulates with the tibia and fibula.


The ankle bone. It forms part of the tarsus, articulating with the tibia above, with the fibula to the lateral (outer) side, and with the calcaneus below.


The square-shaped bone which forms the lower part of the ankle-joint and unites the leg bones to the foot.


The ankle bone. It is an irregular, stubby cylinder and articulates with the tibia, fibula, calcaneus, and navicular bone. In front its head has a broad, rounded articular surface that meets the navicular bone. The body of the talus has a saddle shaped articular surface on the top that meets the distal articular end of the tibia to form the main ankle joint; the outer side of the talus has a broad, convex articular surface that meets the lateral malleolus of the distal end of the fibula. On the bottom of the head and the body of the talus, there are two separate convex articular surfaces that meet the calcaneus (heel) bone. It was formerly called astragalus.


One of three bones that comprise the ankle joint. The other two bones are the tibia and fibula.


The square-shaped bone in the foot that joins with the tibia and fibula bones in the lower leg to make up the ankle joint.


The anklebone, also known as the astragalus; the ankle.
