The lateral malleolus is the bony prominence located on the outer side of the ankle, formed by the distal end of the fibula bone. It plays a crucial role in ankle stability by providing attachment points for ligaments and supporting the joint structure. Injuries to the lateral malleolus, such as fractures, can significantly affect mobility and require medical attention.
