Anteriorly posteriorly and laterally.
If the lateral malleolus lies on the left it is a right fibula and vice versa. The fibula is a bone located within the lateral aspect of the leg. Talus bone alternatively known as talus ankle bone or astragalus is the second largest tarsal bone that connects the leg to the foot by forming the ankle joint. Its upper extremity is small placed toward the back of the head of the tibia below the knee joint and excluded from the formation of this joint.
