The talus bone (/ˈteɪləs/; Latin for ankle) astragalus /əˈstræɡələs/ or ankle bone is a bone in the collection of bones in the foot called the tarsus. The tarsus forms the lower part of the ankle joint through its articulations with the lateral and medial malleoli of the two bones of the lower leg the tibia and fibula. Within the tarsus it articulates with the calcaneus below and navicular in front within the talocalcaneonavicular joint.
