Talar articular surfaces
Facies articulares talares
Definition
The calcaneus present dorsal articular surfaces for the talus, called the talar articular surfaces. In carnivores and horses, these surfaces are separated in two parts by a proximodistal groove called the calcaneal sulcus. The tarsal sinus is the space between the talus and calcaneus, in front of the calcaneal sulcus.
