attachment of fibularis tertius
origin:
distal anterior surface of fibula (continuation of extensor digitorum longus)
insertion:
base of 5th metatarsal
-on top of foot***
action of fibularis tertius
aids in eversion and dorsiflexion
innervation of fibularis tertius?
deep fibular nerve
attachments of extensor hallucis longus?
origin:
mid-portion of fibula, deep to tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum
insertion:
