Voorbeelden van malleolus

• The lateral malleolus extends slightly further distally than the medial and is gently convex transversely distally.

• The lateral malleolus extends further distally than the medial and is distally convex.

• The medial malleolus is flattened distally.

• The postero-lateral border is prominent; it begins above at the apex, and ends below in the posterior border of the lateral malleolus.

• It is continuous with that on the medial malleolus.

• The external malleolus is lower and further back than the internal one.

• This action strains the sturdy medial (deltoid) ligament of the ankle, often tearing off the medial malleolus due to its strong attachment.

• It is when you have subluxation/dislocation of the peroneal tendons about the lateral malleolus.

• The talus then moves laterally, shearing off the lateral malleolus or, more commonly, breaking the fibula superior to the tibiofibular syndesmosis.

• The fibers of the "superior retinaculum" ("external annular ligament") are attached above to the lateral malleolus and below to the lateral surface of the calcaneus.

• Together, their tendons pass behind the lateral malleolus.

• The medial malleolus is the prominence on the inner side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the tibia.

• The medial malleolus is a bony process extending distally off the medial tibia.

• It is designed to identify lesions of the pyramidal tract, via stimulation of the skin over the lateral malleolus.

• Some restraint to further injury is offered by the structures on the inside of the ankle, the medial malleolus and the medial collateral ligament.
