  2. Achilles tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_tendon

    Acting via the Achilles tendon, the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles cause plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle. This action brings the sole of the foot closer to the back of the leg. The gastrocnemius also flexes the leg at the knee. Both muscles are innervated by the tibial nerve. [14]

  3. Extensor digitorum longus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_digitorum_longus...

    The tendons are inserted in the following manner: each receives a fibrous expansion from the interossei and lumbricals, and then spreads out into a broad aponeurosis, which covers the dorsal surface of the first phalanx: this aponeurosis, at the articulation of the first with the second phalanx, divides into three slips — an intermediate ...

  4. Extensor hallucis longus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_hallucis_longus...

    The muscle ends as a tendon of insertion. The tendon passes through a distinct compartment in the inferior extensor retinaculum of foot. It crosses anterior tibial vessels lateromedially near the bend of the ankle. [citation needed] In the foot, its tendon is situated at along the medial side of the dorsum of the foot. [1]

  5. Mucous sheaths of the tendons around the ankle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucous_sheaths_of_the...

    On the front of the ankle the sheath for the Tibialis anterior extends from the upper margin of the transverse crural ligament to the interval between the diverging limbs of the cruciate ligament; those for the Extensor digitorum longus and Extensor hallucis longus reach upward to just above the level of the tips of the malleoli, the former being the higher.

  6. Flexor hallucis longus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_hallucis_longus_muscle

    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.

  7. Ankle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle

    The ankle, the talocrural region [1] or the jumping bone (informal) is the area where the foot and the leg meet. [2] The ankle includes three joints: the ankle joint proper or talocrural joint, the subtalar joint, and the inferior tibiofibular joint. [3] [4] [5] The movements produced at this joint are dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ...

  8. Deltoid ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deltoid_ligament

    The deltoid ligament supports the ankle joint and also resists excessive eversion of the foot. [1] The deltoid ligament is composed of 4 fibers: Anterior tibiotalar ligament; Tibiocalcaneal ligament; Posterior tibiotalar ligament; Tibionavicular ligament. It consists of two sets of fibers, superficial and deep.

  9. Extensor digitorum brevis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_digitorum_brevis...

    The muscle originates from the forepart of the upper and lateral surface of the calcaneus (in front of the groove for the peroneus brevis tendon), from the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament and the stem of the inferior extensor retinaculum. The fibres pass obliquely forwards and medially across the dorsum of the foot and end in four tendons.
