G.B.-38
 Location 4 cun proximal to the highest prominence of the lateral malleolus, on the anterior border of the fibula. How to find First, locate the prominence of the lateral malleolus (➞ 3.6.2) and, from there, measure 4 cun in a proximal direction. There, locate G.B.-38 on the anterior border of the fibula. Or: On the lateral aspect of the lower leg, the distance between the prominence of the lateral malleolus (➞ 3.6.2) and the popliteal crease is 16 cun (➞ 2.2). Divide this distance into quarters and locate G.B.-38 one quarter of the distance from the lateral malleolus (aid: spreading hands technique or elastic tape ➞ 2). For orientation: The borders of the fibula are deep to the peroneus brevis muscle and are often not easily palpable. For this reason, it is suggested to palpate the anterior border of the fibula just superior to the ankle and then locate the point on an imaginary line running to the head of the fibula.
