A thickening on the surface of the calcaneus bone is usually a heel spur.
Thickening on the surface of the calcaneus bone could be caused by conditions such as bone spurs or calcaneal stress fractures. Bone spurs are bony outgrowths that can develop in response to pressure or stress on the bone, while stress fractures are tiny cracks that occur due to repetitive overuse or sudden increase in physical activity. Both conditions may result in thickening of the bone surface.
A thickening on the surface of the calcaneus bone that causes severe pain when standing is known as a heel spur. It is a bony growth that typically forms in response to long-term strain on the plantar fascia, the ligament that runs along the bottom of the foot. Heel spurs can be managed with rest, physical therapy, proper footwear, and sometimes surgery in severe cases.

calcaneus
The calcaneus is the name for the bone that makes the heel. It forms a large bulbous projection from the posterior and inferior part of the foot to which the calcaneal tendon (or Achilles tendon) attaches.
The largest tarsal bones in the body are the calcaneus, also known as the heel bone. It is located at the back of the foot and forms the heel. The calcaneus is an important bone for weight-bearing and plays a significant role in walking and running.
The talus bone sits on the calcaneus.
