Since I just fractured mine in a motorcycle accident, I think I can answer this question. The talus is a critical bone of the ankle joint. It connects the leg and the foot. The talus is involved in multiple planes of movement. It joins the ankle joint and is responsible for the upward and downward movement of the ankle. In addition, it joins the heel bone (calcaneus) where it is responsible for the majority of the inward and outward movement of the foot. Injuries of the talus may therefore effect both the ankle and subtalar joint and affect multiple planes of movement of the foot and ankle. These injuries range from relatively minor chips or fragments that are broken off the edges of the talus to very serious fractures that can be quite devastating.
I had multiple compound fractures and I am still undergoing treatment. I know I have a long road to recovery and will probably have a great deal of chronic pain in my foot even after all my surgeries are done and I have gone through therapy. Hey, I'm a Survivor and consider myself pretty darn tough. Hopefully I will be riding again before long feeling the wind in my hair!!!
yes
The talus bone.
The talus (ankle bone) articulates (moves interactively) with both the tibia and fibula, the bones of the lower leg.
It is one of the tarsal bones called calcaneous_____________________________I would argue that the talus is the bone of the foot that connects with the leg.The tibial plafond, together with the lateral malleolus of the fibula, articulate with the talus (a tarsal bone). The talus then in turn articulates with the calcaneous.
The talus is a key bone of the ankle because it is most weight-bearing bone in the body.

its a short bone
The second largest tarsal bone is the Talus.

The bone thst articulates with the tibia and fibula is the Talus bone.
