Proximally, the facets for the femoral condyles are similar in size; the medial facet is concave and trapezoidal in outline, and the lateral one is slightly convex and quadrangular. The proximal facet for the fibula is flat and located slightly posterior to the diaphyseal shaft. Distally, there are three contiguous facets; two for the astragalus, and one for the distal end of the fibula. The canals (two) for the tarsal extensor tendons are very laterally placed, and the laminae that delimit them are extended and strongly project postero-ventro-medially.
