talus
- n a sloping mass of loose rocks at the base of a cliff
- n the bone in the ankle that articulates with the leg bones to form the ankle joint
- He then inserts the metal into the tibia and fastens the dome to the talus.
- From sundown to sundown the devout turned their talus-wrapped shoulders and bowed heads toward the East in dutiful prayer.
- The lower ends of the two leg bones, the tibia and fibula, as well as some of the talus or anklebone, were trimmed, and two stainless-steel nails were driven up through the heel .
