The subtalar joint (talocalcaneal joint) is anatomically described as the articulation formed between posterior articular surfaces of two tarsal bones; the talus and calcaneus. In the literature , this joint is also referred to as the anatomical subtalar joint or subtalar joint proper .
In human anatomy, the subtalar joint, also known as the talocalcaneal joint, is a joint of the foot. It occurs at the meeting point of the talus and the calcaneus. The joint is classed structurally as a synovial joint, [1] and functionally as a plane joint. [2]
The subtalar (ST) 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. The ST joint allows for rotation of the foot, clinically known as inversion and eversion of the foot [1].
The subtalar joint is a complex joint in the foot. It is vital for walking, and helps people balance on uneven or rough ground. Damage can result from wear and tear or injuries. It may cause pain...

Subtalar (posterior) and talocalcaneonavicular (anterior) joints are anatomical units that are considered functional units in clinical practice. This functional region’s principal anatomical features include the tarsal sinus, tarsal canal, and acuminate interosseous tunnel.
