   properly, to walk on the ankles.] (Surg.)

         {T. valgus}, in which the foot is bent outward; {T.
         equinus}, in which the sole faces backward and the
         patient walks upon the balls of the toes; and {T.
         calcaneus} (called also {talus}), in which the sole
         faces forward and the patient walks upon the heel.
