📋Overview
Valgus calcaneus refers to an abnormal outward angulation of the heel bone (calcaneus), resulting in the heel tilting away from the midline of the body. It is often described as a component of flatfoot deformity or pes planus and can be congenital or acquired. The term 'valgus calcaneus' is descriptive rather than a standalone diagnosis and is commonly discussed in the context of foot deformities affecting alignment and gait.
