The structure of the ankle is comprised of many bones, ligaments, and muscles ranging from above the calcaneous(Heel bone) and the top of the footdown to the toes. The "Ankle bone" (bone that protrudes out) is called the malleolus. Most people commonly confuse this for the ankle bone. when it is really one of many.
