Anterior process of the calcaneus: a clinical-radiological contribution to anatomical vocabulary

The anterior portion of the calcaneus is not explicitly described as a bony landmark in contemporary textbooks of human anatomy. However, it may be involved in all types of fractures of the largest tarsal bone. Both surgeons and radiologists are aware of the anterolateral extension of traumatic lesi...

Thus, the anterior portion of the bone should be referred to uniformly as the processus anterior calcanei.
