9-1. Lateral Compartment Overview Flashcards
other name for fibular?
other name for fibularis?
- fibular = peroneal
- fibularis = peroneus
course of the common peroneal/ fibular nerve in the posterior leg?
heads anterolaterally
the lateral compartment muscules are developmentally:
- dorsal/ ventral, and preaxial/ postaxial?
- innervation?
- action?
- dorsal, postaxial muscles
- innervated by composed of posterior division fibers
- act: major foot evertors
course of the lateral compartment muscles
- They travel posterior to the lateral malleolar sulcus
- fibularis longus more superficially
relationship between fibularis longus and fibularis brevis in the lateral compartment?
- Reaching the lateral side of the calcaneus, f. brevis travels above and f. longus travels below the peroneal/fibular trochlea/tubercle
- Fibularis brevis and fibularis longus share a common synovial sheath up to the peroneal trochlea
If an os vesailanum is present, where will it be?
- this is an accessory ossice
- would be invested in the fibularis brevis
After fibularis longus travels below the peroneal/fibular trochlea/tubercle, what is it’s path?
- F. longus will make its way to the lateral side of the cuboid where it travels through the peroneal notch, envelop its sesamoid (os peroneum)
- Then travelS in close proximity to the peroneal sulcus
On rare occasions close to the insertion sites of the fibularis longus, there may be an accessory bone called what?
pars peronea metatarsalis primi
2 muscles of the lateral compartment
- fibularis longus
- fibularis brevis
which muscle belly fills most of superior half of lateral compartment becoming tendinous as it passes inferiorly?
Fibularis/ peroneus longus
(then runs superficially to Fibularis brevis down the leg)
Fibularis/ peroneus longus
- origin
- insertion
- innervation
- main action
- o: head and sup. 2/3 of lateral surface of fibula
- ins: base of 1st MT and medial cuneiform
- inn: superficial fibular nerve (L5, S1, S2)
- act: everts foot and weekly plantarflexes ankle
Fibularis/ peroneus brevis
- origin
- insertion
- innervation
- main action
- o:
- inferior 2/3 of lateral surface of fibula
- ins:
- dorsal 2/3 of lateral surface of fibula
- inn:
- superficial fibular nerve (L5, S1, S2)
- act:
- everts foot and weekly plantarflexes ankle
what is the common innervation of the lateral compartment?
superficial fibular nerve (L5, S1, S2)
which muscle belly fills the inferior half of lateral compartment?
fibularis/ peroneus brevis
In rare cases, what can happen with the fibularis longus and fibularis brevis tendons?
in rare occasions, the tendons can be fused
