Broström procedure. The Broström operation (or Broström-Gould technique) is a repair of ligaments on lateral ankle. It is designed to address ankle instability. More importantly, it is primarily used to repair the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) in the ankle. It is thought that the majority of patients regain most function in their ankles.
Fibularis longus. Mucous sheaths of tendons around right ankle, lateral aspect. (Tendon-sheath of fibularis longus labeled as peronaeus longus at bottom center.) 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 ...
The common fibular nerve (also known as the common peroneal nerve, external popliteal nerve, or lateral popliteal nerve) is a nerve in the lower leg that provides sensation over the posterolateral part of the leg and the knee joint. It divides at the knee into two terminal branches: the superficial fibular nerve and deep fibular nerve, which ...
The Evans technique is a surgical procedure to treat the mechanical instability of the lateral ankle ligaments. [ 1 ][ 2 ] In the Evans procedure, [ 3 ] the peroneus brevis muscle is separated from its musculotendinous compound and its proximal end is sutured to the peroneus longus. Then, an aperture is created from the postero-superior side of ...
The fibularis brevis (bottom-most label) is a muscle of the lower leg and aids in plantar flexion and eversion of the foot. The fibularis brevis arises from the lower two-thirds of the lateral, or outward, surface of the fibula (inward in relation to the fibularis longus) and from the connective tissue between it and the muscles on the front and back of the leg.
Peritenon. Peritenon (from peri-: around, tenon: tendon) is the connective tissue sheath surrounding a tendon. [1] Inflammation of a peritenon is called " peritendinitis " [2] or " peritenonitis ". [3] Although Achilles tendon has no synovial sheath, it has a peritenon instead which has the same function.
The superficial fibular nerve (also known as superficial peroneal nerve) is a mixed (motor and sensory) nerve that provides motor innervation to the fibularis longus and fibularis brevis muscles, and sensory innervation to skin over the antero-lateral aspect of the leg along with the greater part of the dorsum of the foot (with the exception of the first web space, which is innervated by the ...
The superior extensor retinaculum of the foot (transverse crural ligament) is the upper part of the extensor retinaculum of foot which extends from the ankle to the heelbone. The superior extensor retinaculum binds down the tendons of extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, peroneus tertius, and tibialis anterior as they descend on ...
