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.
Peroneal communicating branch: The peroneal communicating branch to the sural nerve arises from the lateral sural cutaneous nerve, as previously mentioned. The sural nerve itself is formed from the medial and lateral sural cutaneous nerves, from the tibial and the common peroneal (fibular) nerves respectively. However, the sural nerve has also been found to arise from the medial sural cutaneous nerve and the peroneal communicating branch, or simply a continuation from the medial sural cutaneous nerve. The sural nerve passes distally close to the short (or lesser) saphenous vein, passing approximately 1â1.5 cm behind the lateral malleolus.
