Extremitas malleolaris

The extremity malleolaris is the distal end of the tibia. On its medial side there is a bony extension. This represents the inner ankle (malleolus medialis). The distal end of the tibia is generally narrower than the head of the tibia. It articulates with the talus via a concave joint surface, the facies articularis malleoli medialis. The sulcus malleolaris represents an elongated depression at the back of the malleolus madialis. The incisura fibularis provides the connection to the fibula.
