  2. Accessory navicular bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_navicular_bone

    Type 1: An os tibiale externum is a 2–3 mm sesamoid bone in the distal posterior tibialis tendon. Usually asymptomatic. Usually asymptomatic. Type 2 : Triangular or heart-shaped ossicle measuring up to 12 mm, which represents a secondary ossification center connected to the navicular tuberosity by a 1–2 mm layer of fibrocartilage or hyaline ...

  3. Tibialis posterior muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibialis_posterior_muscle

    The tibialis posterior muscle originates on the inner posterior border of the fibula laterally. [2] It is also attached to the interosseous membrane medially, which attaches to the tibia and fibula. [2] The tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle (sometimes called the posterior tibial tendon) descends posterior to the medial malleolus. [2]

  4. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_tibial_tendon...

    The position of the tendon is also thought to contribute, as it makes a sharp turn around the medial malleolus, putting a lot of tension on the tendon. Other proposed causes include constriction underneath the flexor retinaculum , talus abnormalities, osteoarthritis , and preexisting flatfoot . [ 2 ]

  5. Tarsal tunnel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarsal_tunnel

    The tibial nerve, posterior tibial artery, posterior tibial vein, and flexor tendons travel in a bundle along this pathway through the tarsal tunnel, in the following order from anteromedial to posterolateral: Tibialis posterior tendon. [2] Flexor digitorum longus tendon. [2] Posterior tibial artery. [2] Posterior tibial vein. [1] Tibial nerve. [2]

  7. Posterior compartment of leg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_compartment_of_leg

    Posterior surface of calcaneus via calcaneal tendon: Tibial nerve (S1, S2) Plantarflexes ankle when knee is extended; raises heel during walking; flexes leg at knee joint Plantaris: Inferior end of lateral supracondylar line of femur; oblique popliteal ligament: Weakly assists gastrocnemius in plantarflexing ankle Soleus

  8. Ankle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle

    The bony arch formed by the tibial plafond and the two malleoli is referred to as the ankle "mortise" (or talar mortise). The mortise is a rectangular socket. [ 1 ] The ankle is composed of three joints: the talocrural joint (also called talotibial joint, tibiotalar joint, talar mortise, talar joint), the subtalar joint (also called ...

  9. Pes anserinus (leg) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pes_anserinus_(leg)

    Pes anserinus tendinitis/bursitis syndrome, or pes anserine bursitis, is a cause of chronic knee pain and weakness. [3] [4] It occurs when the medial portion of the knee is inflamed.
