8 lut 2019 · The ankle joint (or talocrural joint) is a synovial joint, formed by the bones of the leg and the foot - the tibia, fibula, and talus. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the ankle joint; the articulating surfaces, ligaments, movements, and any clinical correlations.
The ankle joint is a hinged synovial joint that is formed by the articulation of the talus, tibia, and fibula bones. Together, the three borders (listed below) form the ankle mortise. The articular facet of the lateral malleolus (bony prominence on the lower fibula) forms the lateral border of the ankle joint
