Term
Cuboid Articular Surface of Calcaneus
Definition

·      Anterolateral part of Calcaneous. Completely covered by articular surface for Cuboid (Calcaneocuboid joint- saddle type)

Term
Non-articular area of ANT 1/3 of Superior Surface of Calcaneus
Definition

roughened by origin of a muscle (Extensor Digitorum Brevis) and attachments of Inferior Extensor Retinaculum of Ankle

Term
Anterior Talar Articular Surface
Definition

o   Articulates w/ Anterior calcaneal facet on Talus; sometimes Anterior and middle surface/facet are continuous w/ one another; (Talocalcaneonavicular joint)

Term
Middle Talar Articular surface of Calcaneus
Definition

o   : Lies on the dorsum of the Sustentaculum Tali (medial shelf-like projection) ; Articulates w/ Middle calcaneal facet on Talus (Talocalcaneonavicular joint)

Term
Sulcus Calcanei (Calacaneal Sulcus)
Definition

·      Seperates the middle third of the dorsum of the calcaneous;  

Term
Tarsal Sinus
Definition
 in articulated foot this groove faces a similar groove on inferior surface of neck of talus (sulcus tali or talar sulcus) and together they create a bony canal (sinus tarsi or tarsal sinus) that contains interosseous talocalcaneal and cervical ligaments
Term
Superior Horizontal Groove of Calcaneus
Definition
Separates the superior and middle area of the posterior calcaneus
Term
Inferior Horizontal Line
Definition
Separates the Middle and Inferior area of Posterior Calcaneus
Term
Superior part of Posterior Area Calcaneus
Definition

o   Trigonum Achilleum; smooth, related to Deep Retrocalcaneal Bursa and fibroadipose tissue pad

Term
Middle part of Posterior Area Calcaneus
Definition

o   Achilles attachment; attachment of tendon calcaneus

Term
Inferior part of Posterior Calcaneus
Definition

o   slopes inferiorly and anteriorly and becomes continuous with calcaneal tuberosity

Term
Calcaneal Tuberosity w/ Medial and Lateral Process
Definition

INF plantar surface rough Posteriorly; major weight bearing; divided into medial (larger) and lateral processes

oGives attachment to Plantar Aponeurosis, Long Plantar Ligament, and muscls of the plantar surface of the foot

 

Term
Trigonum Plantare
Definition
INF surface distal to calcaneal tuberosity;triangle posterior to anterior tubercle – btw anterior tub (apex) and Medial and later tubercle (base)
Term
Anterior Tubercle
Definition

Anterior end of Trigonum Plantare and is major attachment for Short Plantar Ligament (Plantar Calcaneocuboid joint)

Term
Peroneal / Fibular Tubercle (trochlea)
Definition

Lateral surface INF to posterior articular facet of calcaneus; gives attachment to fibers of Inferior Fibular or Peroneal Retinaculum

Term
Groove for Tendon of Fibularis Brevis
Definition
Groove just Superior to Peroneal / Fibular Tubercle
Term
Groove for Tendon of Fibularis Longus
Definition

Groove just Inferior to Fibular / Peroneal Tubercle

Term
Peroneal Spine (for attachment of Calcaneofibular ligament)
Definition

Posterior and Superior to the Peronal/ fibular tubercle; gives attachment to Calcaneofibular ligament (Lateral collateral ligament of ankle)

Term
Retrotrochlear Eminence of Calcaneus
Definition

POST to the tubercle, INF to Peroneal spine, and on Lateral surface of Calcaneus; created by a group of trabeculae of cancellous bone that push cortical (compact) bone laterally; most constant feature of LAT surface of Calcaneus

Term
Sustenaculum Tali
Definition
Extrusion on medial side of talus; POST to Middle Talar Facet.
Term
Medial Surface of Sustenaculum Tali
Definition
palpable and just INF to Medial Malleolus gives attachment to Medial Collateral Ligament and is grooved by Tendon of Flexor Digitorum Longus
Term
Anterior/ Posterior surface of Sustenaculum Tali
Definition

attachment for Medial Talocalcaneal Ligament of Subtalar joint, and Plantar Calcaneonavicular Spring Ligament of Talocalcaneonavicular joint

Term
Groove for Tendon of Flexor Hallicus Longus
Definition

Medial just INF to Sustenaculum Tali
