A malleolus is found on the?
A malleolus is found on the ankle bone. There are two malleoli; the lateral malleolus on the outer side of the ankle and the medial malleolus on the inner side. Together, they help stabilize the ankle joint.
How does a fixation work on the ankle using an ilizarus frame?
An Ilizarov frame for ankle fixation involves applying circular rings and fixators around the ankle, connected by threaded rods. The frame stabilizes the ankle bones and joints, allowing for gradual correction of deformities or bone healing. Physicians adjust the frame periodically to achieve the desired alignment and promote bone fusion.
What portion of the lower extremity is found distal to the knee and proximal to the ankle?

Is the tarsal bone a short bone?

What bone connects to the ankle bones?

Which bone is medial ankle projection?
