The ankle bone is also known as the talus bone, which is a tarsal bone located between the tibia and fibula in the lower leg and the calcaneus bone in the foot. Its primary function is to transmit weight and forces across the ankle joint.
The tibia is the scientific name of the shinbone.
The ankle-bone is called the talus. It sits below the two leg bones, the tibia and the fibula.
