  2. Posterior tibial artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_tibial_artery

    The posterior tibial artery arises from the popliteal artery in the popliteal fossa. [1] It is accompanied by a deep vein, the posterior tibial vein, along its course. It passes just posterior to the medial malleolus of the tibia, but anterior to the Achilles tendon. [1] It passes into the foot deep to the flexor retinaculum of the foot. [1]

  3. Tarsal tunnel syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsal_tunnel_syndrome

    Tarsal tunnel release is a form of a nerve decompression to relieve pressure on the tibial nerve. The incision is made behind the ankle bone and then down towards but not as far as the bottom of foot. The posterior tibial nerve is identified above the ankle. It is separated from the accompanying artery and vein and then followed into the tunnel.

  4. Tarsal tunnel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsal_tunnel

    The tibial nerve, posterior tibial artery, posterior tibial vein, and flexor tendons travel in a bundle along this pathway through the tarsal tunnel, in the following order from anteromedial to posterolateral: Tibialis posterior tendon. [2] Flexor digitorum longus tendon. [2] Posterior tibial artery. [2] Posterior tibial vein. [1] Tibial nerve. [2]

  5. Knee dislocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_dislocation

    A knee dislocation is an injury in which there is disruption of the knee joint between the tibia and the femur. [3] [4] Symptoms include pain and instability of the knee. [2] Complications may include injury to an artery, most commonly the popliteal artery behind the knee, or compartment syndrome. [3] [4] [7]

  6. Neurovascular bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurovascular_bundle

    The main deep neurovascular bundle at risk is the posterior tibial artery. It lies on the posterior aspect of the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus muscle, and medial to the belly of flexor hallucis longus muscle. It also gives rise to medial plantar artery and lateral plantar artery. [1]

  7. Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popliteal_artery...

    Medial tibial stress syndrome: Pain occurs over the shin bone (the tibia) with running or other sport-related activity. [17] Fibular and tibial stress fracture: Non-displaced microscopic fracture of the fibular and tibia occurs in many athletes, especially runners, and also in non-athletes who suddenly increase their activity level. [18]

  8. Posterior compartment of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_compartment_of_leg

    Posterior surface of calcaneus via calcaneal tendon: Tibial nerve (S1, S2) Plantarflexes ankle when knee is extended; raises heel during walking; flexes leg at knee joint Plantaris: Inferior end of lateral supracondylar line of femur; oblique popliteal ligament: Weakly assists gastrocnemius in plantarflexing ankle Soleus

  9. Posterolateral corner injuries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterolateral_Corner_Injuries

    [2] [13] More than a 2.7 mm increase between sides indicates a fibular collateral ligament tear, while greater than 4.0 mm indicates with a grade III posterolateral knee injury. [20] Posterior stress radiographs taken with the patient kneeling show the amount of posterior tibial translation in both knees and are helpful to diagnose PCL ...
