A malleolus is the bony prominence on each side of the human ankle. Each leg is supported by two bones, the tibia on the inner side (medial) of the leg and the fibula on the outer side (lateral) of the leg.
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.
Posterior Malleolus: Felt on the back of your ankle and is also a part of the base of the tibia. Lateral Malleolus: Bony protrusion felt on the outside of the ankle. The lateral Malleolus is the low end of the Fibula. The ankle joint is not responsible for side-to-side movement of the foot.
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 joint.
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 medial malleolus is the prominence on the inner side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the tibia. The lateral malleolus is the prominence on the outer side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the fibula.
The lateral malleolus is the thickened end of the fibula that is involved in the ankle joint. This so-called outer ankle creates the conditions for the flexion and extension of the foot in a dorsal and plantar direction.
The medial (tibial) malleolus is the medially located, rounded projection found on the distal end of the tibia. It contains the malleolar groove of tibia and the articular facet of medial malleolus.
Definition. The lower extremity of the fibula, known as the lateral malleolus, exhibits an anteroposterior expansion and a flattened side-to-side shape. It is situated on the outer side of the ankle. Its lateral surface faces outwards and is easily palpable due to its subcutaneous nature.
