Answer to Question 1

The lateral malleolus sits inferior and posterior to the medial malleolus

Rationale: The lateral malleolus sits more inferior and posterior to the medial malleolus. Knowing this anatomic difference is important as the medial and lateral malleolus should never be positioned to be directly superimposed.

Answer to Question 2

inferior articular process

Rationale: The eye represents the pedicle. The nose represents the transverse process. The neck represents the pars interarticularis. The ear represents the superior articular process. The front lower leg represents the inferior articular process.
