Talus

The talus is a key bone in the ankle, located between the tibia and fibula above and the calcaneus below. It plays a central role in foot movement, enabling dorsiflexion and plantarflexion at the ankle joint. The talus also facilitates the subtalar joint's motion, allowing inversion and eversion of the foot. It is vital for transmitting weight from the leg to the foot and ensuring proper movement during walking and running. The talus is essential for overall foot function and mobility.

Original talus was provided by the Institute of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University Bratislava. The 3D scanning was performed by using three scanners (PhoXi 3D Scanner XS, PhoXi 3D Scanner S, MotionCam 3D Color S) by the Slovak company Photoneo. The structure of talus was scanned from different positions and the final image was combined by using factory software.

The model very detailed and possess all the features suitable to use for education purpose, e.g. at the Anatomy classes. It is a small structure, still its .STL file has size of 217 MB as it contains a lot of details. Small 3D printer is enough to print structure
