True or False: The medial malleolus is at the distal end of the fibula.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only in children

  4. Only in adults

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false because the medial malleolus is actually at the distal end of the tibia, not the fibula. The tibia, being the larger and more medial of the two bones in the lower leg, has its medial malleolus projecting downwards on the inner aspect of the ankle. In contrast, the lateral malleolus is located at the distal end of the fibula, which is situated on the outer side of the ankle. This distinction is important in understanding the anatomy of the lower leg and providing effective treatments in massage therapy and related fields.
