Abstract
The anatomy of the calcaneus is complex with multiple processes and grooves for support of related bony and soft tissue structures. With respect to imaging, the calcaneus and its articulations are a diagnostic challenge to radiologists and clinicians. This article focuses on the use of commonly employed radiologic modalities with respect to the anatomy of the calcaneus and some of the more common and challenging conditions that affect the calcaneus.
