Q

Surface Anatomy:

Posterior Lower Leg and Foot

A
  1. Gastrocnemius = Medial and lateral heads can be palpated on the proximal ½ of the lower leg
  2. Soleus = Deep to gastrocnemius and can be palpated on either side; have patient plantarflex in prone with knee flexed
  3. Calcaneal (Achilles) Tendon = Wide band connecting posterior leg muscles to calcaneus
  4. Calcaneus = Move distal from calcaneal tendon; identify medial and lateral borders, as well as the base.

Q

Surface Anatomy:

Lateral Lower Leg and Foot

A
  1. Lateral Malleolus = Prominent bony structure of the distal fibula
  2. Lateral Ligaments of the Ankle = Calcaneofibular: just distal to the lateral malleolus; Posterior talofibular: posterior and inferior surface of lateral malleolus to the talus; Anterior talofibular: anterior lateral malleolus to talus
  3. Tuberosity of 5th Metatarsal = Locate 5th MT and palpate proximally until you feel a “step off”
  4. Fibularis (Peroneus) Brevis = Distal 2/3 of fibula, traveling posterior to lateral
    malleolus, attaches at tuberosity of 5th MT.
  5. Fibularis (Peroneus) Longus = Proximally attaches to fibular head, tendon palpated posterior to lateral malleolus and lateral aspect of the foot
  6. Cuboid = From the tuberosity of 5th MT, move proximally
