What are the seven bones in ankle called?
The ankle joint is formed by the articulation of three bones:- Tibia (shin bone)
- Fibula (smaller bone of the lower leg)
- Talus (one of the tarsal bones of the foot)
The ankle joint is also supported by several ligaments and tendons:
- Anterior talofibular ligament
- Posterior talofibular ligament
- Calcaneofibular ligament
- Deltoid ligament
- Flexor retinaculum
- Extensor retinaculum
These ligaments and tendons help to keep the ankle joint stable and prevent it from dislocating.
