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.
Each of these structures comes from the posterior (back) compartment of the leg, through the ankle, and into the sole of the foot. They pass through the flexor retinaculum immediately posterior to (behind) the medial malleolus, which is the network of nerve tissue and muscle that surrounds the ankle joint.
