• The medial surface of this process is convex and subcutaneous;
• its lateral or articular surface is smooth and slightly concave, and articulates with the talus;
• its anterior border is rough, for the attachment of the anterior fibers of the deltoid ligament of the ankle-joint;
• its posterior border presents a broad groove, the malleolar sulcus, directed obliquely downward and medialward, and occasionally double; this sulcus lodges the tendons of the Tibialis posterior and Flexor digitorum longus.

The summit of the medial malleolus is marked by a rough depression behind, for the attachment of the deltoid ligament.
