  2. Plantar fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fascia

    Five central part plantar aponeurosis bundles. The plantar fascia is the thick central portion of the fascia investing the plantar muscles. It extends between the medial process of the tuber calcanei [1] and the proximal phalanges of [citation needed] the toes. It provides some attachment to the flexor muscles of the toes.

  3. Abductor hallucis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductor_hallucis_muscle

    The abductor hallucis muscle is located in the medial border of the foot and contributes to form the prominence that is observed on the region. It is inserted behind on the tuberosity of the calcaneus, the flexor retinaculum, and the plantar aponeurosis. [1] Its muscle body, relatively thick behind, flattens as it goes forward.

  4. Plantar fascial rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fascial_rupture

    The plantar fascia is a connective tissue that spans across the bottom of the foot. [1] The condition plantar fasciitis may increase the likelihood of rupture. [2] A plantar fascial rupture may be mistaken for plantar fasciitis or even a calcaneal fracture. To allow for proper diagnosis, an MRI is often needed.

  5. Calcaneal spur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcaneal_spur

    A calcaneal spur (also known as a heel spur) is a bony outgrowth from the calcaneal tuberosity (heel bone). [1] Calcaneal spurs are typically detected by x-ray examination. [2] It is a form of exostosis. When a foot is exposed to constant stress, calcium deposits build up on the bottom of the heel bone. Generally, this has no effect on a person ...

  6. Plantar fasciitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fasciitis

    The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous band of connective tissue that originates from the medial tubercle and anterior aspect of the heel bone. From there, the fascia extends along the sole of the foot before inserting at the base of the toes and supports the arch of the foot. [ 3 ][ 11 ][ 13 ] Plantar fasciitis is a non-inflammatory condition ...

  7. Flexor digitorum brevis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_digitorum_brevis_muscle

    Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The flexor digitorum brevis or flexor digitorum communis brevis[1] is a muscle which lies in the middle of the sole of the foot, immediately above the central part of the plantar aponeurosis, with which it is firmly united. Its deep surface is separated from the lateral plantar vessels and nerves ...

  8. Plantaris muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantaris_muscle

    The plantaris is one of the superficial muscles of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg, one of the fascial compartments of the leg. It is composed of a thin muscle belly and a long thin tendon. While not as thick as the achilles tendon, the plantaris tendon (which tends to be between 30–45 centimetres (12–18 in) in length) is ...

  9. Achilles tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_tendon

    The Achilles tendon or heel cord, also known as the calcaneal tendon, is a tendon at the back of the lower leg, and is the thickest in the human body. [1][2][3][4][5][6][excessive citations] It serves to attach the plantaris, gastrocnemius (calf) and soleus muscles to the calcaneus (heel) bone. These muscles, acting via the tendon, cause ...
