This becomes a bone spur. When the bone spur grows out of one of the joints on the top of the midfoot, it's called a tarsal boss. A bone spur on the inside or outside any of the toes is usually referred to as a toe spur. Any factor that creates too much friction within the foot can lead to a tarsal boss or toe spur.
The word Calcaneus is derived from the Latin word calcaneum meaning heel. Hence Calcaneus refers to the heel bone. The Calcaneus bone is the largest tarsal bone and is located in the lower and rear part of the foot. It is irregular in shape and has 6 surfaces, each surface extending into different critical ligaments and muscles of the feet.
