Talus Bone Anatomy and Innervation - Human Anatomy | Kenhub

In this tutorial, we will talk about the talus, one of the many bones of the foot. We will also list the bones articulating with the talus, the arteries supplying it and the innervation of this bone.

The talus is one in a group of seven bones of the foot which are collectively referred to as the tarsus. The talus shares this space with the calcaneus, the cuboid, the lateral cuneiform, the intermediate cuneiform and the navicular bones. The talus is also known as the ankle bone. It's a saddle-shaped bone located between the tibia and the fibula bones of the lower leg and the calcaneus, and the navicular bones of the tarsus.

The talus is an important bone for the stability of the ankle due to its central location between the ankle joint, the subtalar joint between the talus and the calcaneus, the talocalcaneonavicular joint which joints the head of the talus with the calcaneus, the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament and the navicular bones.
