What's wrong Dexter's statement?

The anatomic location is completely wrong!  

Anatomists all over the world were cringing when they heard Dexter say this!  Hey Dexter scriptwriters, if your looking for a medical consultant,  I got your back!!!

 

How would you correct the mistake?

Dexter should say "The foot was severed through the distal end of the tibia and fibula."
