APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -In the human body, the tarsus is a cluster of seven articulating bones in each foot situated between the lower end of the tibia and the fibula of the lower leg and the metatarsus. It is made up of the midfoot (cuboid, medial, intermediate, and lateral cuneiform, and navicular) and hindfoot (talus and calcaneus).

Detailed explanation-2: -The tarsus consists of 7 bones which make the posterior aspect of the foot: talus, calcaneus, cuboid, navicular and three cuneiforms. The tarsal bones can be divided into the hindfoot (talus and calcaneus) and midfoot (cuboid and cuneiforms). The navicular is the intermediate bone between these two groups.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tarsal bones are found in the ankle and include the calcaneus, talus, navicular, medial, intermediate and lateral cuneiform and cuboid [Figure 1B].

Detailed explanation-4: -the fibula, the smaller bone of the lower leg, which forms the outside part of the ankle. the talus, a small bone between the tibia and fibula and the calcaneus, or heel bone.
