<\/p>\n
The Talus<\/strong> (astragalus; ankle bone<\/em><\/strong>) is the second largest of the tarsal bones. It occupies the middle and upper part of the tarsus, supporting the tibia above, resting upon the calcaneus below, articulating on either side with the malleoli, and in front with the navicular. It consists of a body, a neck, and a head. \u00a0 The talus articulates with four bones: tibia, fibula, calcaneus, and navicular. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n The Neck<\/strong> (collum tali<\/em><\/strong>) is directed forward and medialward, and comprises the constricted portion of the bone between the body and the oval head. Its upper<\/strong> and medial surfaces<\/strong> are rough, for the attachment of ligaments; its lateral surface<\/strong> is concave and is continuous below with the deep groove for the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament.
\n \u00a0
\n The Head<\/strong> (caput tali<\/em><\/strong>) looks forward and medialward; its anterior articular <\/strong>or navicular surface<\/strong> is large, oval, and convex. Its inferior surface<\/strong> has two facets, which are best seen in the fresh condition. The medial, situated in front of the middle calcaneal facet, is convex, triangular, or semi-oval in shape, and rests on the plantar calcaneo-navicular ligament; the lateral, named the anterior calcaneal articular surface<\/strong>, is somewhat flattened, and articulates with the facet on the upper surface of the anterior part of the calcaneus.
