• Anatomy of Ankle Joint
• The ankle bone we often see is comprised of four
  bones tibia, fibula, talus and calcaneus. While
  calcaneus forms the base (heel), the tibia and
  fibula form a notch into which the talus fits in
  to form an ankle joint. In addition to working as
  a shock absorber during heel strikes, this ankle
  joint is responsible for all the movements of the
  foot. This talus is again attached to the tarsals
  that connect to finger bones (for simplicity)
  forming an entire foot.
