30+ Anatomy Of Calcaneus. It is directed forwards, upwards and laterally. By dr arun pal singh.
It is roughly cuboidal in shape and has six distinct surfaces.
It forms the prominence of the heel. The calcaneus articulates with both the cuboid bone and talus within the tarsus. The calcaneus, or heel bone, is the largest tarsal and forms the prominence at the back of calcaneus. Calcaneal pseudocysts or calcaneal pseudotumors are very common normal variants in images of the calcaneus caused by variations in the density of bone.
