The calcaneus, also known as the heel bone, is found at the back of the foot near the ankle, just below the talus, tibia, and fibula bones of the lower leg. The calcaneus is the largest bone in the foot. It projects posterior to the tibia and fibula and acts as a short lever for...
The cuboid is a short bone with a total of 1 in each foot. The cuboid is the only bone in the midfoot that supports the lateral column of the foot. It is located between the fourth and fifth metatarsal bones and the calcaneus. It is the basic structur...

[17,35]. The initial hypothesis was that the calcaneus, as a big sesamoid-like bone similar to the patella, transmits force of the AT through the posterior trabecular system of the bone into the PF and short flexors of the foot [17]. This idea was based upon an ontogenic view. The...
