Objective: Calcaneus is the largest of the tarsal bones. When the joint surfaces on the upper surface of the Calcaneus joint with the talus's body the joint surface on the front surface is jointed with cuboidea. We aim that define the joint surfaces of calcaneus with obtained numerical parameters and typing in this study Methods: We selected and typing 63right and 83left calcaneus. Calcaneus was divided into four types according to the number of talar joint faces and subdivided into subgroups. The joining of the anterior-medial joints faces is called type1, if there is no narrowing is called T ...Daha fazlası
