Bony Landmarks
The proximal point at which the tibia and fibula join
What is the Proximal Tibiofibular Joint
The furthest phalange from the metatarsals
What is the Distal Phalange
The prime mover of dorsiflexion. Wraps around the anterior side of the tibia
What is the Tibialis Anterior
The short Peroneus
What is the Peroneus Brevis
The muscle commonly referred to as the "calf" muscle
What is the gastrocnemius
A lateral, hammerhead like protrusion located on the distal end of the fibula
What is the lateral malleolus
The section of phalange missing from the big toe
What is the middle phalange
This muscle extends the big toe
What is the Extensor Hallucis Longus
The muscle that originates at the head and upper portion of the lateral side of fibula
What is the Peroneus Longus
Inserts on the same place as the gastrocnemius and assists in plantar flexing foot
What is the Soleus
The surface on the distal end of the Tibia
What is the articular surface
What is the Talus
The muscle that inserts on the middle and distal phalanges of toes II-V
What is the Extensor Digitorum Longus
The action that the Peroneus Brevis and Peroneus Longus are responsible for
Plantar flexion and eversion
What is the Plantaris
A ridge located towards the upper two-thirds of the tibia
The tarsal directly in front of the Talus
What is the Navicular
Synergist in dorsiflexion and eversion
What is the Fibularis Tertius
The muscle that inserts by a tendon running behond the lateral malleolus to insert on proximal end of the fifth metatarsal
What is the Peroneus Brevis
Part of the deep posterior compartment, flexes toes
What is the Flexor Digitorum Longus
A small cavity on the proximal posterior end of the tibia
What is the fibular articular facet
The Tarsal in line with Metatarsal II
What is the Intermediate cuneiform
The muscle that originates on the anteromedial fibular shaft and interosseous membrane
What is the Extensor Hallucis Longus
The muscle that inserts by a long tendon that curves under the foot to first metatarsal and medial cuneiform
What is the Peroneus Longus
What is the Tibialis Posterior
