Which point is located on the ankle just medial to the tendon of the tibialis anterior when the ankle is dorsiflexed?

• A. LV1
• B. LV2
• C. LV3
• D. GB40

Answer: (C)

The point being tested is LV3, which sits on the dorsum of the foot in the depression between the first and second metatarsal bones. When the ankle is flexed upward (dorsiflexed), the tibialis anterior tendon runs along the medial side of the foot as it crosses the ankle. LV3 lies just medial to this tendon in that position, matching the described location. For context, LV1 is at the nail bed corner of the big toe, LV2 lies on the dorsum between the first and second toes but more toward the toe area, and GB40 is located near the lateral side of the ankle. The described medial-to-tendinous location aligns with LV3.
