malleolar

The Malleolar canal is formed by the flexor retinaculum together with the calcaneus.

Then, an aperture is created from the postero-superior side of the fibula to the lateral malleolar tip.

There are two malleolar sulci, medial and lateral.

The condition is also known as a malleolar flare, in reference to the malleolus, the bony prominence on each side of the ankle.

It lies above the malleolar folds attached directly to the petrous bone at the notch of Rivinus.

Ankle X-ray is only required if there is any pain in the malleolar zone and any one of the following:

Perforating branch to Anterior lateral malleolar artery.

The lateral malleolar sulcus is the posto-inferior groove on the distal part of the fibula.

The anterior lateral malleolar artery a branch of the anterior tibial artery.

The posterior border is broad and presents the shallow malleolar sulcus, for the passage of the tendons of the Peronæi longus and brevis.

The medial tarsal arteries are two or three small branches which ramify on the medial border of the foot and join the medial malleolar net-work.

His name is lent to "Tröltsch's recesses", or singularly called the "anterior and posterior pouches of Tröltsch", which are anatomical spaces between the malleolar folds and the tympanic membrane.

Therefore, the surgeon will typically see cases that vary from trauma (such as malleolar fractures, tibial pilon fractures, calcaneus fractures, navicular and midfoot injuries and metatarsal and phalangeal fractures.)

The anterior medial malleolar artery (medial anterior malleolar artery, internal malleolar artery) is an artery in the ankle.

The posterior border presents a broad groove, the malleolar sulcus, directed obliquely downward and medially, and occasionally double; this sulcus lodges the tendons of the Tibialis posterior and Flexor digitorum longus.

It is a strong, thick band, of yellowish fibers which passes transversely across the back of the ankle joint, from the lateral malleolus to the posterior border of the articular surface of the tibia, almost as far as its malleolar process.
