Ankle - Definition and Overview

The bones in the foot

In anatomy, the ankle is the part of the lower limb that is located between the foot and the leg. It comprises two joints: the talocrural joint, connecting the distal ends of the tibia and fibula with the proximal end of the talus, and the subtalar joint, connecting the talus with the calcaneus.
