| Definition |
The true ankle joint is composed of 3 bones, seen above from a front, or anterior, view: the tibia which forms the inside, or medial, portion of the ankle; the fibula which forms the lateral, or outside portion of the ankle; and the talus underneath. The true ankle joint is responsible for up and down motion of the foot.

| Context |
Ankle Joint and Subtalar Joint Work Together: - ankle combines dorsiflexion w/abduction & plantar flexion w/adduction, subtalar joint combines dorsiflexion, abduction, & eversion in one direction and plantar flexion, adduction, and inversion in the other direction; these combined subtalar motions have traditionally been referred to as pronation & supination, respectively; - when the subtalar joint is fused, rotation is increased in the ankle and may cause arthritic change;- when the ankle is fused, greater stresses are placed on the sub-talar and midtarsal joints;
