Özet
There are three facets over upper side of talocalcaneal joint: anterior talar facet, middle and posterior. Three types of calcaneus that have distinct talar facets were defined as types A, B and C. A total of 221 calcanei (98 right, 123 left), with unknown gender, were dried and evaluated. In our study type B calcaneus (58%) was defined as the most common type, and type A calcaneus (39.3%) as the second most common type. By using facet joint differences and bone measurement, we tried to define calcaneus bone. In many diseases of foot, such as the talocalcaneal artritis and coalition, intraarticular fractures and congenital dysmorphology, flatfood, valgus deformities, the size and shape of the bones, the relationships of the talus and calcaneus with each other and other bones of the foot must be considered for the internal and external fixation and surgical procedures. Type B calcaneus was defined as the most comman type in Turkish race and these results correlate with the ones which were performed on bones of American, Indian and African people, and it was uncorrelated with the results of the researches performed in Europe.
