Introduction[edit | edit source]
The subtalar joint is an articulation between two of the tarsal bones in the foot, the talus and calcaneus. The joint is classed structurally as a synovial joint, and functionally as a plane synovial joint[1].
The subtalar joint allows the foot side-to-side (inversion/eversion), pivot to change directions, and stay balanced as we move across uneven terrain. Without this joint, a person would constantly roll their ankles when running, jumping, or walking.
