  2. Anterior compartment of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_compartment_of_leg

    Lateral condyle and superior half of lateral surface of tibia and interosseous membrane: Medial and inferior surfaces of medial cuneiform and base of 1st metatarsal: Deep fibular (peroneal) nerve (L4, L5) Dorsiflexes ankle and inverts foot Extensor hallucis longus: Middle part of anterior surface of fibula and interosseous membrane

  3. Fascial compartments of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascial_compartments_of_leg

    The fascial compartments of the leg are the four fascial compartments that separate and contain the muscles of the lower leg (from the knee to the ankle). The compartments are divided by septa formed from the fascia.

  4. Posterior compartment of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_compartment_of_leg

    Inferior end of lateral supracondylar line of femur; oblique popliteal ligament: Weakly assists gastrocnemius in plantarflexing ankle Soleus: Posterior aspect of head and superior quarter of posterior surface of fibula; soleal line and middle third of medial border of tibia; and tendinous arch extending between the bony attachments

  5. Lateral compartment of leg - Wikipedia

    Head and superior two thirds of lateral surface of fibula: Base of 1st metatarsal and medial cuneiform: Superficial fibular nerve (L5, S1, S2) Everts foot and weakly plantarflexes ankle Fibularis brevis: Inferior two thirds of lateral surface of fibula: Dorsal surface of tuberosity on lateral side of base of 5th metatarsal

  6. Interosseous membrane of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interosseous_membrane_of_leg

    It is broader above than below. Its upper margin does not quite reach the tibiofibular joint, but presents a free concave border, above which is a large, oval aperture for the passage of the anterior tibial vessels to the front of the leg. In its lower part is an opening for the passage of the anterior peroneal vessels.

  7. Popliteus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popliteus_muscle

    The popliteus muscle originates from the lateral surface of the lateral condyle of the femur by a rounded tendon. [1] Its fibers pass downward and medially. It inserts onto the posterior surface of tibia, above the soleal line. [1] The popliteus tendon runs beneath the lateral collateral ligament and tendon of biceps femoris.

  8. Posterior cruciate ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_cruciate_ligament

    The PCL is located within the knee joint where it stabilizes the articulating bones, particularly the femur and the tibia, during movement.It originates from the lateral edge of the medial femoral condyle and the roof of the intercondyle notch [2] then stretches, at a posterior and lateral angle, toward the posterior of the tibia just below its articular surface.

  9. Tensor fasciae latae muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_fasciae_latae_muscle

    The fascia lata is a fibrous sheath that encircles the thigh like a subcutaneous stocking and tightly binds its muscles. On the lateral surface, it combines with the tendons of the gluteus maximus and tensor fasciae latae to form the iliotibial tract, which extends from the iliac crest to the lateral condyle of the tibia.
