  2. Achilles tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles_tendon

    Acting via the Achilles tendon, the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles cause plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle. This action brings the sole of the foot closer to the back of the leg. The gastrocnemius also flexes the leg at the knee. Both muscles are innervated by the tibial nerve. [14]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_digitorum_longus...

    The tendons are inserted in the following manner: each receives a fibrous expansion from the interossei and lumbricals, and then spreads out into a broad aponeurosis, which covers the dorsal surface of the first phalanx: this aponeurosis, at the articulation of the first with the second phalanx, divides into three slips — an intermediate ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankle_problems

    Tendonitis is inflammation around a tendon, leading to pain experienced during and after activity, which abates temporarily, but returns upon resumption of exercise. [9] Common forms of tendonitis affecting the foot and ankle include Achilles tendonitis, posterior tibial tendonitis, peroneal tendinosis, flexor tendonitis, and extensor ...

  5. Mucous sheaths of the tendons around the ankle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucous_sheaths_of_the...

    On the front of the ankle the sheath for the Tibialis anterior extends from the upper margin of the transverse crural ligament to the interval between the diverging limbs of the cruciate ligament; those for the Extensor digitorum longus and Extensor hallucis longus reach upward to just above the level of the tips of the malleoli, the former being the higher.

  6. 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.

  7. Tibialis posterior muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibialis_posterior_muscle

    Posterior tibial tendonitis is a condition that predominantly affects runners and active individuals. It involves inflammation or tearing of the posterior tibial tendon, which connects the calf muscle to the bones on the inside of the foot. It plays a vital role in supporting the arch and assisting in foot movement.

  8. Flexor digitorum longus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexor_digitorum_longus_muscle

    It passes obliquely forward and lateralward, superficial to the deltoid ligament of the ankle-joint, into the sole of the foot, where it crosses over the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus at the level of the navicular bone at a location known as the knot of henry [6] (also referred to as plantar tendinous chiasm), [2] [3] [4] and receives ...

  9. Extensor digitorum brevis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_digitorum_brevis...

    The muscle originates from the forepart of the upper and lateral surface of the calcaneus (in front of the groove for the peroneus brevis tendon), from the interosseous talocalcaneal ligament and the stem of the inferior extensor retinaculum. The fibres pass obliquely forwards and medially across the dorsum of the foot and end in four tendons.
