Talar callosity – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/802752596

A distinct form of callosity located on the anterolateral aspect of the ankle overlying the talus bone. It is due to sitting cross-legged or sitting back onto the feet from a kneeling position, thereby exposing the skin overlying the talus to repeated pressure and friction.
