Abstract
The calcaneus is the largest bone in the foot and is an important primary weightbearing structure. Pathologic processes that affect this bone may manifest in a variety of clinical presentations, including pain, abnormal motion, instability, or fracture. The purpose of this article is to present a pictorial essay of the wide spectrum of pathologic entities that may affect the calcaneus, emphasizing applications of magnetic resonance imaging and characteristic magnetic resonance features of these processes.
