  2. Flexor hallucis longus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_hallucis_longus_muscle

    The flexor hallucis longus is situated on the fibular side of the leg. It arises from the inferior two-thirds of the posterior surface of the body of the fibula, with the exception of 2.5 cm at its lowest part; from the lower part of the interosseous membrane; from an intermuscular septum between it and the peroneus muscles, laterally, and from the fascia covering the tibialis posterior, medially.

  3. Interphalangeal joints of the foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interphalangeal_joints_of...

    The flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus flex the interphalangeal joint of the big toe and lateral four toes, respectively. The tendons of both of these muscles cross as they reach their distal attachments. In other words, the flexor hallucis longus arises laterally, while the flexor digitorum longus arises medially.

  4. Flexor hallucis brevis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_hallucis_brevis_muscle

    Flexor hallucis brevis muscle arises, by a pointed tendinous process, from the medial part of the under surface of the cuboid bone, from the contiguous portion of the third cuneiform, and from the prolongation of the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle which is attached to that bone.

  5. Broken toe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_toe

    In a UK study involving nearly 6000 fractures seen in hospital, 3.6% were broken toes. [10] Fractures of big toes make up about a fifth [3] or third [8] of all toe fractures, and 5.5% of all foot and ankle fractures in major US trauma hospitals. [10] Toe fractures are the most common foot fractures. [8] About 20% of broken toes involve open ...

  6. Plantar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_nerve

    The medial plantar nerve supplies: the abductor hallucis, the flexor digitorum brevis, the flexor hallucis brevis and the first lumbrical.Cutaneous distribution of the medial plantar nerve is to the medial sole and medial three and one half toes, including the nail beds on the dorsum (like the median nerve in the hand).

  7. Reduction (orthopedic surgery) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_(orthopedic_surgery)

    When a bone fractures, the fragments lose their alignment in the form of displacement or angulation. For the fractured bone to heal without any deformity the bony fragments must be re-aligned to their normal anatomical position. Orthopedic surgery attempts to recreate the normal anatomy of the fractured bone by reduction of the displacement.

  8. Medial plantar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_plantar_nerve

    The muscular branches supply muscles on the medial side of the sole, including the abductor hallucis, the flexor digitorum brevis, the flexor hallucis brevis, and the first lumbrical; those for the abductor hallucis and flexor digitorum brevis arise from the trunk of the nerve near its origin and enter the deep surfaces of the muscles; the branch of the flexor hallucis brevis springs from the ...

  9. Plantar interossei muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_interossei_muscles

    The three muscles originate on the medial aspect of metatarsals III-V. The muscles cross the metatarsophalangeal joint of toes III-V so the insertions correspond with the origin and there is no crossing between toes. [1] The muscles then continue distally along the foot and insert in the proximal phalanges III-V.
