Finnish term or phrase: kehra
When it is part of the ankle?

context:

lateraalinen ja mediaalinen kehrä

Local time: 02:01
English translation:malleolus
Explanation:
It surely should be 'kehräs' (or 'kehräluu' or 'kehräsluu' or 'kehräsenluu').

In English 'malleolus'.

Malleous lateralis = ulkokehräs
Malleous medialis = sisäkehräs

(I tried to find some original English term for it, but couldn't. It can be expected that the English called those parts of their bodies somehow even before they learned the Latin names.)
