Why do i have 2 ankle bones on both feet?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Accessory bone: What you are most likely looking at is your medal malleolus (the normal ankle bone on the big toe side of the ankle) and an accessory navicular bone. These occur frequently and can be quite large.

Three bones: The ankle is a joint made up of 3 bones (tibia, fibula, and talus) and it has multiple bones to allow motion in the joint. It's designed to maximize up and down motion with stability.
