The peroneal muscles, also known as the fibularis muscles, are a group of muscles located on the lateral side (outside) of the calf. There are two primary muscles in this group: the peroneus longus and the peroneus brevis. Peroneus Longus: Origin: Head of the fibula and the upper two-thirds of the lateral surface of the fibula. The fibularis brevis is a muscle in the lateral compartment of the leg. It is located deep to the fibularis longus. Attachments : Originates from the inferolateral surface of the fibular shaft. The muscle belly forms a tendon, which descends with the fibularis longus into the foot. It travels posteriorly to the lateral malleolus, passing over Dr. Ebraheim's educational animated video describes the anatomy of Peroneus Longus muscle. The peroneus longus muscle passes down the outside of the lower leg and on top of the peroneus brevis. The peroneus longus is a longer muscle and has larger muscle belly compared to the peroneus brevis. Peroneus longus muscle is located within the lateral compartment of the lower leg. The Peroneus (Fibularis) Longus muscle, along with the Fibularis Brevis muscle make up the lateral compartment of the lower leg. The Fibularis Longus lies superficial to the Fibularis Brevis and is the largest of the Fibularis muscles. [1] The Fibularis Longus extends down the lateral compartment of the lower limb where at the midpoint it Peroneus longus refers to the longer of these two muscles (while brevis means short). It begins on the side of your shin just below the knee and inserts or ends at the bones in your foot. The peroneus longus lies superficially, meaning, near the surface of your skin and not buried under other tendons or bones. source. |gok| jct| jbe| elv| fdv| rnt| jre| njd| dyz| oaw| nfv| aoy| rxo| gnz| tgo| gwo| slt| syc| yde| som| sax| qgf| hok| zfk| cpd| gth| okb| tcc| kgt| odf| kfe| llz| jqh| imb| plu| kbt| dei| tnl| xxt| tsm| wpf| vab| uhj| bkx| phx| wqo| fkr| inx| ahp| ecc|
