“…The morphology of the articular facets of the talus and calcaneus is of interest to anatomists (Anjaneyulu et al, 2014), but more importantly the relationship between them is critical in anthropometry, kinesiology, orthopaedic surgery, physical therapy and rehabilitation (Uygur et al, 2009). Differences with respect to race, as well as individual charactestics, suggest that the articular facets plays a key role in both static and dynamic kinetics of the foot and ankle.…”

“…The calcaneus, the largest of the tarsal bones, is irregularly cuboidal with its long axis inclined distally superolaterally: it is situated inferior and extends posterior to the talus and is the weight bearing tarsal bone (Williams & Bannister, 1995;Uygur et al;Sharada et al, 2012;Garg et al, 2013;Anjaneyulu et al). Its anterior third is partly articular, while distal (anterior) to the posterior articular facet is a rough depression that narrows into a groove medially to form the sulcus calcanei.…”

BOYAN, N.; OZSAHIN, E.; KIZILKANAT, E.; SOAMES, R. & OGUZ, O.Morphometric measurement and types of artıcular facets on the talus and calcaneus ın an Anatolian population. Int. J. Morphol., 34(4):1378Morphol., 34(4): -1385Morphol., 34(4): , 2016. SUMMARY:Anatomical variations in terms of ligamentous attachments, articulations and bony morphology are common in the subtalar region. The shape of the articular facets of the talus and calcaneus and their relationship to each other are important for joint function and surgical procedures. In this study an assessment of the morphology of the articular facets of the talus and calcaneus, in an Anatolian population, was undertaken. 49 tali and 57 calcanei from Anatolian adults of unknown gender were examined. The types of articular facets on the talus and calcaneus were determined using the following classification: Type A1, the distance between the anterior and middle facets was less than 2 mm; Type A2, the distance between the anterior and middle facets was 2-5 mm; Type A3, the distance between the anterior and middle facets was more than 5 mm; Type A4, there was only one articular facet; Type B1, the separation between the anterior and middle facets was not complete; Type B2, separation of the anterior and middle facets was present; Type C, no separation between the anterior, middle and posterior facets was present, i.e. there was one articular facet. In addition, the anteroposterior length and width of the talus and calcaneus, together with the width, length and depth of sulcus tali and sulcus calcanei were determined. Left and right tali, respectively, displayed the folowing types of articular facet: A1, 0 %, 0 %; A2, 0 %, 3,4 %; A3, 0 %, 0 %; A4, 0 %, 0 %; B1, 60 %, 51,8 %; and B2, 40 %, 44.8 %. Articular facets on left and right calcanei, respectively, were: A1, 10 %, 7.4 %; A2, 10 %, 14.8 %; A3, 16.7 %, 11.1 %; A4, 3. .05 mm, respectively. The articular facets on both the talus and calcaneus in the Anatolian population studied was predominantly type B. This observations is similar to previous reports conducted in America, India and Africa, but differ from those undertaken in Europe. A knowledge of variations of the articular facets of the talus and calcaneus provides a valuable road map for orthopaedic surgeons, as well as others involved in foot rehabilitation.

“…In various diseases of foot, such as the talocalcaneal arthritis and coalition, intraarticular fractures and congenital dysmorphology, flatfoot, valgus deformities, the size and shape of the bones, the relationships of the talus and calcaneus with each other and other bones of the foot must be considered for the internal and external fixation and surgical procedure [19].…”

“…The majority of bony coalition commonly involves the middle talar facet of the talocalcaneal joint, also a common cause of painful flatfoot (3). Morphometric values of calcanei are essential for the science of anatomy, treatment and diagnosis procedures on orthopedic surgery, kinesiology, physical treatment and rehabilitation sessions (4). Structural dissimilarity of the calcanei has an impact on the fixed and kinetic dynamics of the foot.…”

Introduction:The three important articulating facets in the superior aspect of the calcaneum are the anterior, middle and posterior articulating facet. Descriptions of the posterior talar facet on the dorsum of the calcaneus are similar. However, there are differences when facet for the head of the talus on the calcaneus is considered. Four types (pattern I, II, III, IV) of calcaneus having different talar facets are reported in the literature.Objective: This study aims to describe the calcaneal bone by measuring its dimensions and determining the variations of talar articulating facet.Materials and methods: Overall 142 calcanei (68 right, 74 left) with unidentified gender, were assessed. Vernier calipers and Goniometry were used.Results: In this study Type I calcaneus (56.34 %) was the most prevalent type with Type II calcaneus (42.25 %) as the second most common type followed by Type IV (1.41 %) as the third frequently found pattern of calcaneus.Conclusion: Type I calcaneus was the most frequent type in the Nepalese showing similarity to the results of the studies performed in Spanish, American, African and various Indian population. Bohler's angle of the right and left calcanei was 34.92°± 8.09°and 35.4°± 7.30°respectively. Development of database of calcaneal measurements in various populations is recommended.
