Determine the associated bone

The medial malleolus is located at the distal, medial end of the tibia (shinbone), forming the medial portion of the ankle joint.

Evaluate the options

• Tibia: Distal end forms the medial malleolus.
• Fibula: Distal end forms the lateral malleolus.
• Femur: Distal end forms the medial and lateral condyles.
• Humerus: Distal end forms the epicondyles, capitulum, and trochlea.
