Where is the medial malleolus?

You probably know the medial malleolus as the bump that protrudes on the inner side of your ankle. It's actually not a separate bone, but the end of your larger leg bone — the tibia, or shinbone. The medial malleolus is the largest of the three bone segments that form your ankle.

Is posterior malleolus lateral or medial?

The tibia and fibula have specific parts that make up the ankle: Medial malleolus - inside part of the tibia. Posterior malleolus - back part of the tibia. Lateral malleolus - end of the fibula.

Where is the lateral malleolus?

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.

What is the difference between a bimalleolar & trimalleolar fracture?

Physicians classify broken ankles by the area of bone that has fractured. For instance, if both the fibula and tibia have broken, it is considered a bimalleolar fracture. Conversely, a trimalleolar fracture involves a break in the three parts of the ankle.

What is a Pott's fracture?

A Pott's fracture is a fracture affecting one or both of the malleoli. During activities such as landing from a jump (volleyball, basketball) or when rolling an ankle, a certain amount of stress is placed on the tibia and fibula and the ankle joint.

The lateral malleolus is formed by the lower section of the fibula and makes up the outer side of the ankle.

What bone is the medial malleolus?

The medial malleolus is the medial projection of bone from the distal tibia. The lateral malleolus projects laterally from the distal fibula (Fig. 11.3). Both malleoli serve as the proximal attachments for the collateral ligaments of the ankle.

What is a medial malleolus?

The medial malleolus is the bony bump on the inner side of the ankle. This is the end of the shinbone (tibia) and forms the support for the inner side of the ankle joint. The medial malleolus is also the attachment of the major ligament on the inner side of the ankle, called the deltoid ligament.
