The medial malleolus is the prominence on the inner side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the tibia. The lateral malleolus is the prominence on the outer side of the ankle, formed by the lower end of the fibula.edial malleolus [edit]. The medial surface of the lower extremity of tibia is prolonged downward to form a strong pyramidal process, flattened from without inward-the medial malleolus.
The medial malleolus forms the medial side of the ankle joint with the talus of the foot; it can be easily located by palpation of the skin in this region. On the lateral side of the tibia is a small recess known as the fibular notch, which forms the distal tibiofibular joint with the fibula. The tibia is classified as a long bone due to its long, narrow shape. Long bones are hollow in the middle, with regions of spongy bone filling each end and solid compact bone covering their entire structure.
