As part of the effort to reduce the number of recognized synonyms, the Latin synonym peripheralis was removed. The older, more commonly used of the two neo-Latin words was retained. Radialis Radial Radial Ulnaris Ulnar Ulnar Fibularis Peroneus Fibular Fibular Peroneal As part of the effort to reduce the number of synonyms, peronealis and peroneal were removed. Because perone is not a recognized synonym of fibula, peronealis is not a good term to use for position or direction in the lower limb. Tibialis Tibial Tibial Palmaris Volaris Palmar Palmar Volar Volar is an older term that is not used for other references such as palmar arterial arches, palmaris longus and brevis, etc. Plantaris Plantar Plantar Flexorius Flexor Flexor The Latin term was corrected from flexor to the proper adjectival form. The English equivalent remains flexor because it is used as both noun and adjective in English. Extensorius Extensor Extensor The Latin term was corrected from extensor to the proper adjectival form. The English equivalent remains extensor because it is used as both noun and adjective in English.

The best Latin term for ankle is talus, which has been used for both ankle and ankle- bone.
