A calcaneum is another word for the calcaneus, the large bone making up the heel of the human foot.
The plural form of "calcaneum" is "calcanea." The calcaneum is the anatomical term for the heel bone, and in the context of anatomy, the plural refers to multiple heel bones.

The calcaneus, or heel, is the strongest bone in the body. Thanks to the density and resistance to forces of standing, walking, and running. Often the femur is considered the strongest because of size and flexible properties.
The calceneous or bone heels are located in the heels. The term calceneous derived from the latin word "calcaneum" which means heel. It is specifically part of the tarsus bones.
It can be quite serious. The so-called "heel bone", when broken, can cause a lot of pain, and prevent you from walking, so it can be a real life changer. It is, however, not fatal. I changed the original answer from calcanium which, if you really meant calcaneum is a protrusion from the tarsus extant in bird but not humans.
