The ankle or the talocrural region is the region where the foot and the leg meet. The ankle includes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint the subtalar joint and the Inferior tibiofibular joint. The movements produced at this joint are dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the foot. In common usage the term ankle refers exclusively to the ankle region.
