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!!!
The ankle is formed by three bones: the tibia, fibula, and talus.
The tarsal bone that sits on the calcaneus is the talus. The talus forms the primary connection between the foot and the leg, articulating with the tibia and fibula to form the ankle joint. It plays a crucial role in weight-bearing and movement of the foot.
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 tibia articulates with the ankle bone, known as the talus. This joint is called the talocrural joint and is responsible for the up-and-down movement of the foot.
The ankle bone is also known as the talus bone, which is a tarsal bone located between the tibia and fibula in the lower leg and the calcaneus bone in the foot. Its primary function is to transmit weight and forces across the ankle joint.

The second largest tarsal bone is the Talus.
