What is the lateral ankle projection?
medial malleolus
Which bones form lateral and medial malleolus?
The Lateral Malleolus is part of the fibula.
Is the lateral malleolus distal end of the tibia?
No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
4 The medial malleolus is located on the distal end of what bone?
I think they are inner and outer ankle The Medial malleolus if found on the Tibia and the Lateral malleolus is found on the Fibula. The ankle connect to the Medial and Lateral malleolus.
What is the alignment of the medial and lateral malleoli relative to each other?
The medial malleolus is closer to the midline. The lateral malleolus is toward the outside of the body.

Which bones form lateral and medial malleolus?
The Lateral Malleolus is part of the fibula.
Is the lateral malleolus distal end of the tibia?
No, the lateral malleolus is the distal end of the fibula. The medial malleolus is the distal end of the tibia.
What bone has a lateral malleolus?
Fibula
What is the malleoulus?
The ancle has two lateral bones - the tibia ends at the ancle with the medial malleolus and the fibia ends at the ancle with the lateral malleolus
4 The medial malleolus is located on the distal end of what bone?
I think they are inner and outer ankle The Medial malleolus if found on the Tibia and the Lateral malleolus is found on the Fibula. The ankle connect to the Medial and Lateral malleolus.
Does the small saphenous vein begin on the posterior of the lateral malleolus of the fibula or the medial malleolus of the tibia?
Medial malleolus of the tibia
What is the alignment of the medial and lateral malleoli relative to each other?
The medial malleolus is closer to the midline. The lateral malleolus is toward the outside of the body.
What is on the outside of the ankle?
unless I'm very much mistaken, that should be part of the tibla- if you want a scientific answer. or you can say it's part of the lower leg bone.( unless I'm wrong)
What is a fracture of the distal end of the fibula?
The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The tibia has the medial malleolus, and the fibula has the lateral malleolus.
What is the difference between a lateral malleolus and a medial malleolus?
Lateral refers to the outside of the ankle while medial refers to the inside or towards the midline of the body
What are the processes and bones that create your medial and lateral ankle and wrist bumps?
The bumps at the ankle are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The medial malleolus is formed by the tibia, and the lateral malleolus by the fibula. The medial wrist bump is formed by the styloid process of the ulna, and the lateral wrist bump by the styloid process of the radius.
