tarsus : In the first version of the Terminologia Anatomica, the designation "tarsus" inaccurately referred to the ankle. "Tarsus" actually refers to the area on the sole of the foot between the heel and the toes. The designation "talus" should be used in Latin to refer to both the ankle and the ankle bone. 3, record 2, English, - ankle

tarsus : Dans la première version de la Terminologia Anatomica, la désignation «tarsus» était utilisée de manière impropre pour désigner la cheville. En effet, «tarsus» réfère plutôt à la région de la plante du pied située entre le talon et les orteils. La désignation à utiliser en latin serait plutôt «talus» qui désigne à la fois la cheville et l'os de la cheville. 4, record 2, French, - cheville
