Name the two retinaculum on flexor surface of tarsus
Crural extensor retinaculum (more dorsal)
Tarsal Extensor retinaculum (more ventral)
What muscles pass deep to crural retinaculum and just proximal to the tarsus
Long digital extensor and cranial tibial
What muscle passes deep to tarsal retinaculum
Long digital extensor
What are the caudal group of muscles that act as extensors of the tarsus
Gastrocnemius
Superficial digital flexor
Biceps femoris tendon
Gracilis tendon
Semitendinosus tendon
What are the primary contributors to the common calcaneal tendon
Gastrocnemius
Superficial digital flexor
