The talus is a bone in the ____ (5)

I believe the answer is:

ankle

(Other definitions for ankle that I've seen before include "Major foot joint" , "Part of the leg between the foot and the shin" , "Joint between foot and leg" , "Human joint" , "Bone over foot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
