Sign in to saveAlso known as ankle joints, talocrural region
The ankle, the talocrural region or the jumping bone (informal) is the area where the foot and the leg meet. The ankle includes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the inferior tibiofibular joint. The movements produced at this joint are dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the foot. In common usage, the term ankle refers exclusively to the ankle region. In medical terminology, "ankle" (without qualifiers) can refer broadly to the region or specifically to the talocrural joint.
The ankle is the area where your foot and leg meet, made up of three joints that work together to allow your foot to move up and down. It's an important part of your body that enables basic movements like walking and jumping.
