The tarsal bone that sits on the calcaneus is the talus. The talus forms the primary connection between the foot and the leg, articulating with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint. It plays a crucial role in weight-bearing and movement of the foot.

Talus
The ankle is formed by three bones: the tibia, fibula, and talus.
The distal tibia and fibula both articulate with the talus. The talus is the superiormost of the tarsals.
Talus is rock debris at the bottom of a slope.
This may be known as a scree slope or a talus pile. Talus and scree are normally used interchangeably, however scree normally refers to material of gravel size or smaller and talus to larger debris.
Talus-Saint-Prix's population is 84.
The common name for talus is ankle. Tal- is the related medical terminology combining form.
The fibula articulates with the talus distally. The talus is the superiormost of the tarsals.
No muscles attach to the talus, extensive ligaments attach to the talus to reinforce the ankle joint however the majority of the muscles originate from the calcaneus
The second largest tarsal bone is the Talus.
