The lateral malleolus is found at the foot end of the fibula, of a pyramidal form, and somewhat flattened from side to side; it descends to a lower level than the medial malleolus.
The lateral (fibular) malleolus is the expanded, distal end of the fibula. It contains the malleolar groove of fibula, malleolar fossa, and the articular facet of lateral malleolus. The lateral malleolus provides attachment sites for the anterior talofibular, posterior talofibular, posterior tibiofibular, and calcaneofibular ligaments, as well ...
Ankle pain that may be difficult to pinpoint but somewhere just in front of the bony bit, or lateral malleolus on the outside of the ankle. Tenderness will be felt at the opening of the sinus tarsi which is located on the outside of the ankle.
The lateral malleolus is the bone on the outside of the fibula. A lateral malleolus fracture is a type of ankle fracture that occurs when the fibula fractures just above the ankle...
The lateral malleolus, an enlargement of the distal end of the fibula, articulates with the lateral aspect of the talus. The lateral malleolus of the fibula is positioned more distally and posteriorly than the medial malleolus of the tibia.
A lateral malleolus fracture involves the large bump on the outer side of your ankle, called the lateral malleolus bone. The fracture is frequently caused by tripping, falling from a height, or twisting or rolling your ankle while walking or running.
Lateral ligaments: These three ligaments start at the lateral malleolus — the end of the fibula that forms the bump on the outside of your ankle. They connect to the talus and calcaneus. Syndesmotic ligaments: These four ligaments connect the tibia and fibula.
