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.
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.
The Schilling tendon procedure is a temporary surgical procedure developed by the former Boston Red Sox team physician William Morgan, MD, to stabilize the peroneus brevis tendon so that it is prevented from anterior displacement during ankle eversion. [1] If the peroneal retinaculum is torn, the

The fibularis muscles are highly variable. Several variants are occasionally present, including the peroneus digiti minimi and the peroneus quartus. [2] The quartus is more closely associated with the tendons of the extensor digitorum longus and may send a small tendon to the fifth (or little) toe.
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 ...
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 ( eversion ) and to extend the foot downward away from the body ( plantar flexion ) at the ankle .
The accessory deep peroneal nerve is an anomalous nerve in which the nerve splits off from the common peroneal nerve and sometimes innervates the extensor digitorum brevis muscle. By itself, the condition is harmless but in conjunction with other neurological and structural defects in the area, can make the condition more difficult. [ 1 ]
