The medical name for the ankle bone is the TALUS
tarsus
There are two bony protuberances on either side of the ankle. The one on the inner side is called medial malleolus. This is formed by the lower end of tibia, which is the stouter of the two bones that make our leg. The outer bony protuberance is called lateral malleolus and is formed by the lower end of fibula, which is the thinner bone that makes our leg along with tibia. It is easy to remember the names of these bones without confusion if you remember the characters of same names in the Asterix Cartoons. The fat character is named tibia which is the name of the fat bone. The lean one is fibula which is the name of the thinner bone of our leg.
