Other possible fractures in this area, occurring in the cuboid, calcaneus, and fibula, can be associated or can be mistaken for a toddler's fracture.
It consists of a right tibia, an astragalus and a calcaneus.
The calcaneus has two articulations, being part of the proximal intertarsal joint and the talocalcaneal joint.
The talus, calcaneus, and navicular are considered the proximal row of tarsal bones.
Interestingly, failure most often occurred at the proximal attachment to the calcaneus, which is consistent with the usual location of symptoms (i.e. in plantar fasciitis).
The fibers of the "superior retinaculum" ("external annular ligament") are attached above to the lateral malleolus and below to the lateral surface of the calcaneus.
Its tendon runs between those of the soleus and gastrocnemius and is embedded in the medial end of the calcaneus tendon.
The anterior talocalcaneal ligament extends from the front and lateral surface of the neck of the talus to the superior surface of the calcaneus.
