The talocrural joint, also known as the ankle joint, is formed by the meeting of three bones: the tibia, the fibula, and the talus. The tibia and fibula are the two long bones of the lower leg, while the talus is a bone in the foot that sits above the calcaneus (heel bone) and articulates with the tibia and fibula to allow for movement in the ankle. This joint is crucial for walking, running, and various other movements.
