Pulse Check: There are 3 palpable pulses in the ankle/foot. The peroneal is palpable above and in front of the outside ankle bone (lateral malleolus). The posterior tibial is palpable on the inside of the ankle alongside the Achilles and behind the inside ankle bone (medial malleolus). The dorsalis pedis is palpated on top of the foot.
