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 1, French, - cheville
