There is no joint with the ankle. The joint is the ankle.
There are three bones that make up the ankle joint. The joint of the ankle is made up of the Tibia and Fibula bones descending from the lower leg, and the Talus Tarsal bone of the upper foot/ankle.

The tibia, medially, via long stretch of connective tissue referred to as a syndesmosis.
The talus, inferiorly, via talofibular joint.
The fibula *does not* articulate with the patella / "knee cap" or femur. In addition, the fibula is not a weight-bearing structure (the tibia is the weight-bearing bone of the lower leg).
