Abstract:
The variations of the talar articular facets in 176 calcanei were studied and classified. Three types were considered: type A = calcanei with two articular facets for the talar head, with four subtypes; type B = calcanei with one articular facet for the talar head, and two subtypes, and type C = unique articular facies in the superior surface of the calcaneus for the talus. We found 53% (94 cases) type B calcanei and 46% (82 cases) type A calcanei. No calcanei of type C were seen.
