Abstract

The talus, also called astragalus bone, is a small, irregular bone that sits on top of the other bones of the foot. It is the only link between the leg bones and the bones of the foot. Despite its small size, it is made up of dense and strong bones. It transfers the weight of the human body through the tibia to the foot. Reviewing and re-reading the anatomy of talus is absolutely essential for physicians and orthopedic surgeons for proper diagnosis and management of any disorder. This is because it enters into many joints that can affect human movements in walking, running and even correct standing.
