Healthy ankle, X-ray
Healthy ankle. Coloured X-ray of the ankle joint of an adult woman, in side view. The bones which form the ankle joint are the shin bone (tibia, at top) with the smaller fibula (behind it). These articulate with the talus bone (uppermost foot bone) and are also attached by ligaments to the calcaneus (back of foot bone). Bones of the midfoot are also seen, with toes to the right of image. The ankle joint provides up-and-down foot movements, while tilting and rotating movements of the foot occur at joints within the foot itself

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate anatomy of a healthy ankle joint in an adult woman. In this side view X-ray, we can clearly observe the bones that form the ankle joint, including the tibia (shin bone) positioned at the top and the smaller fibula situated behind it. These two bones articulate with the uppermost foot bone called talus, while ligaments connect them to the calcaneus located at the back of the foot. The image also provides a glimpse of midfoot bones and toes on the right side, offering a comprehensive view of this vital part of our skeletal system. The ankle joint plays a crucial role in facilitating up-and-down movements of our feet, while additional tilting and rotating motions occur within joints present in our feet themselves. With its vibrant colors and precise detailing, this false-colored X-ray print from Science Photo Library not only captures anatomical accuracy but also serves as a reminder of how remarkable our bodies are. It highlights both functionality and strength as essential components for maintaining overall health. Whether used for educational purposes or personal appreciation, this stunning visual representation offers valuable insights into human anatomy without mentioning any commercial use or specific company affiliation.
