The flexor hallucis longus is situated on the fibular side of the leg. It arises from the inferior two-thirds of the posterior surface of the body of the fibula, with the exception of 2.5 cm at its lowest part; from the lower part of the interosseous membrane; from an intermuscular septum between it and the peroneus muscles, laterally, and from the fascia covering the tibialis posterior, medially.
The flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus flex the interphalangeal joint of the big toe and lateral four toes, respectively. The tendons of both of these muscles cross as they reach their distal attachments. In other words, the flexor hallucis longus arises laterally, while the flexor digitorum longus arises medially.
The medial plantar nerve from the tibial nerve provides sensory innervation to the skin of the medial side of the sole, the skin of the medial three and a half toes, and the nail beds of these toes. It also provides motor innervation to abductor hallucis, flexor hallucis brevis, flexor digitorum brevis, and the first lumbrical. [7]
The flexor digitorum longus runs along the medial posterior side of the lower leg and aids in flexions of the toes (apart from the big toe). The flexor digitorum longus muscle arises from the posterior surface of the body of the tibia, from immediately below the soleal line to within 7 or 8 cm of its lower extremity, medial to the tibial origin of the tibialis posterior muscle.
Cross section of horse foot. The relevant areas are: 2. Second phalanx. 4. Coffin bone. 6. Navicular bone. 9. Deep digital flexor tendon. 16. Plantar cushion. 17. Hoof. Knowledge of equine forelimb anatomy is especially useful for understanding navicular syndrome. The navicular bone lies behind the coffin bone and under the small pastern bone ...
A broken toe is a type of bone fracture. [6] Symptoms include pain when the toe is touched near the break point, or compressed along its length (as if gently stubbing the toe). [3] There may be bruising, swelling, stiffness, or displacement of the broken bone ends from their normal position. [4]
Medial Head: Medial sesamoid bone of the metatarsophalangeal joint, proximal phalanx of great toe. Lateral head: Lateral sesamoid bone of the metatarsophalangeal joint, proximal phalanx of great toe: Nerve: Medial plantar nerve: Actions: Flex hallux: Antagonist: Extensor hallucis longus muscle: Identifiers; Latin: musculus flexor hallucis ...
The arch is further supported by the plantar aponeurosis, by the small muscles in the sole of the foot (short muscles of the big toe), by the tendons of the tibialis anterior and posterior and fibularis longus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus and by the ligaments of all the articulations involved.
