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

    It arises from the lateral condyle of the tibia; from the upper three-quarters of the anterior surface of the body of the fibula; from the upper part of the interosseous membrane; from the deep surface of the fascia; and from the intermuscular septa between it and the tibialis anterior on the medial, and the peroneal muscles on the lateral side.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_collateral...

    The posterior talofibular ligament runs horizontally between the neck of the talus and the medial side of lateral malleolus calcaneofibular ligament; The calcaneofibular ligament is attached on the posteromedial side of lateral malleolus and descends posteroinferiorly below to a lateral side of the calcaneus.

  4. Fibularis longus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibularis_longus

    In human anatomy, the fibularis longus (also known as peroneus longus) is a superficial muscle in the lateral compartment of the leg.It acts to tilt the sole of the foot away from the midline of the body and to extend the foot downward away from the body (plantar flexion) at the ankle.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Anterior talofibular ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_talofibular_ligament

    It is one of the lateral ligaments of the ankle and prevents the foot from sliding forward in relation to the shin. It is the most commonly injured ligament in a sprained ankle —from an inversion injury—and will allow a positive anterior drawer test of the ankle if completely torn.

  7. Fibularis brevis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibularis_brevis

    In human anatomy, the fibularis brevis (or peroneus brevis) is a muscle that lies underneath the fibularis longus within the lateral compartment of the leg.It acts to tilt the sole of the foot away from the midline of the body (eversion) and to extend the foot downward away from the body at the ankle (plantar flexion).

  8. Inferior extensor retinaculum of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_extensor_retinac...

    The inferior extensor retinaculum of the foot (cruciate crural ligament, lower part of anterior annular ligament) is a Y-shaped band placed in front of the ankle-joint, the stem of the Y being attached laterally to the upper surface of the calcaneus, in front of the depression for the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament; it is directed medialward as a double layer, one lamina passing in front ...

  9. Superior extensor retinaculum of foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_extensor_retinac...

    The superior extensor retinaculum binds down the tendons of extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, peroneus tertius, and tibialis anterior as they descend on the front of the tibia and fibula; under it are found also the anterior tibial vessels and deep peroneal nerve. [1]
