If I remember from anatomy...the ankle is a synovial joint (movement at the point of contact at bones) that connects the distal ends of the tibia and fibula to the proximal end of the talus bone in the foot.....distal means the most distant of 2 or more things in this case bones and proximal means towards the beginning of 2 or more things.

What is the joint of the toes?

The joints in all 10 of your toes are hinge joints. They allow your toes to move only forward (flexion) and backward (extension). The hinge joint is also called a ginglymus joint. Each of your four small toes (which are called phalanges) have three bones. The big toe (called the hallux) has two bones. The hinge joints are present at the areas where these bones meet. The joints in the toes connect the bones with fibrous tissues, called ligaments and tendons.
