The talus bone, calcaneus, and navicular bone are considered the proximal row of tarsal bones. Complex fractures like pelvis fractures, calcaneus or tibia head fractures, etc. Intra-articular fractures are more common and involve the posterior talar articular facet of the calcaneus. The calcaneocuboid joint is the joint between the calcaneus and the cuboid bone. The ankle is the tarsus and tarsal, and the heel is the calcaneus or calcaneal. Normally the tibia sits vertically above the calcaneus ("pes rectus"). A bursa lies between the tendon and the upper part of the calcaneus. The talus is oriented slightly obliquely on the anterior surface of the calcaneus. Three muscles insert on the calcaneus&colon; the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris. It occasionally separately inserts into the medial side of the calcaneus. The Achilles tendon is also known as the "tendo calcaneus" (). A calcaneal fracture is a break of the calcaneus (heel bone). In addition a calcaneal branch to the medial aspect of the calcaneus. Together, the talus and calcaneus form the hindfoot. It occurs at the meeting point of the talus and the calcaneus.
