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.
距下关节上侧有三个面：距骨前关节面、中间关节面和后关节面。具有不同距骨关节面的三种类型的跟骨被定义为A、B和C型。
共评估221块跟骨（98块右侧，123块左侧），性别不详，均为干燥标本。
在我们的研究中，B型跟骨（58%）被定义为最常见类型，A型跟骨（39.3%）为第二常见类型。通过使用关节面差异和骨骼测量，我们试图定义跟骨。
在许多足部疾病中，如距下关节炎和联合症、关节内骨折和先天性畸形、扁平足、外翻畸形，在进行内固定和外科手术时，必须考虑骨骼的大小和形状、距骨和跟骨彼此之间以及与足部其他骨骼的关系。B型跟骨被定义为土耳其种族中最常见的类型，这些结果与对美国、印度和非洲人群骨骼的研究结果相关，而与欧洲进行的研究结果不相关。
