talocalcaneal joint

The talocalcaneal joint, also called the subtalar joint, is located in the foot where the talus (a bone in the ankle) and the calcaneus (heel bone) meet. It allows for important movements like inversion (lifting the foot inward) and eversion (lifting the foot outward), helping you adapt to different surfaces and maintain balance. This joint plays a key role in walking, running, and other foot movements, providing stability and flexibility. Its proper function is essential for smooth foot motion, and injuries here can cause pain and difficulty with walking.
