Talk:踝子骨

Meaning

@Mar vin kaiser I don't think this refers to the talus (anklebone). In 现代汉语词典, 踝子骨=踝=小腿与脚之间部位的左右两侧的突起，是由胫骨和腓骨下端的膨大部分形成的, or in other words, the malleoli, which are not located on the talus but on the tibia and fibula. RcAlex36 (talk) 14:22, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@RcAlex36: Yeah, I think I get what you're saying, but I don't know why all Chinese-English dictionaries I have define this word as "anklebone". --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:26, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@RcAlex36: Can you try and look up 踝骨 also? Supposedly 踝骨 and 踝子骨 mean the same thing. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser: Guoyu Cidian defines 踝骨 as 小腿和腳掌連接處左右兩旁凸起的圓骨, so it's the same meaning. RcAlex36 (talk) 15:02, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@RcAlex36: I'll try to look on this more, because it would mean that all or most Chinese-English dictionaries are wrong on the definitions of these words as "anklebone". --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:15, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@Mar vin kaiser: 距骨 is the talus for sure. RcAlex36 (talk) 15:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@Justinrleung: Can you offer your thoughts on this? Thanks. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 10:10, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
