Anterior Compartment of the Leg Flashcards
crural fascia
deep fascia in leg
thicker anteriorly
what do all muscles of anterior leg have in common 2
they are all ankle dorsiflexors and digit extensors
all innervated by deep fibular nerve l4/5
tibialis anterior attachments/innervation
upper two thirds of lateral surface of tibia
interosseus membrane
highest part of superficial crural fascia
medial and planter surface of medial cuneiform bone
and medial base of first metatarsal
deep fibular l4/5
tibialis anterior actions
dorsofielx foot at talocrurual point
invert foot at subtalar joint
extensor hallucis longusattachments/innervation
middle third of medial surface of fibula
interosseous membrane
dorsal aponeurosis
base of distal phalanx of first toe
deep fibular l5 only
extensor hallucis longus actions
dorsiflex foot at talocrural joint
extend toes at MTP and IP joints
eversion and inversion of foot at subtalar joint-depeding on foot position
extensor digitorum longus attachments/innervation
anterior border and head of fibula
lateral condyle of tibia
interosseus membrane
dorsal aponeuroses at base of distal phalanges of 2nd to 5th does
deep fibular
l5-s1
extensor digitorum longus actions
dorsiflex foot at talocrural joint
evert foot at subtler joint
extend 2nd and 5th does at MTP and IP joints
fibularis tertius attachments/innervation
anterior border of distal fibula
baseof 5th metatarsal
deep fibular l5/s1
fibularis tertius actions
dorsiflex foot at talocrural joint
evert foot at subtalar joint
difference between anterior muscles
lateral to medial
fibularis tertius-smallest
extensor digitorum longus-long but under tibias interior
extensor hallucis longus-long and deep to extensor digitorum longs
tibalis anterior-longest and biggest
whats deep to tibialis anterior
what do they do
anterior tibial artery
deep fibular nerve-innnervates anterior compartment
superifical fibular nerve-moves into anterior compartment from lateral compartment of leg
extensor retinaculum
same thing as in anterior wrist for anterior foot
dorsalis pedis artery
continuation of
where
relation to a tendon/nerve
anterior tibial artery
dorm of foot
lateral to extensor hallcis longus tendon
accompanies deep fibular nerve
dorsum of foot
top of it lol
