  2. Anterior compartment syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_compartment_syndrome

    A compartment space is anatomically determined by an unyielding fascial (and osseous) enclosure of the muscles.The anterior compartment syndrome of the lower leg (often referred to simply as anterior compartment syndrome), can affect any and all four muscles of that compartment: tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius.

  3. Extensor hallucis longus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor_hallucis_longus...

    Occasionally united at its origin with the extensor digitorum longus.. The extensor ossis metatarsi hallucis, a small muscle, sometimes found as a slip from the extensor hallucis longus, or from the tibialis anterior, or from the extensor digitorum longus, or as a distinct muscle; it traverses the same compartment of the transverse ligament with the extensor hallucis longus.

    Extensor hallucis longus: Middle part of anterior surface of fibula and interosseous membrane: Dorsal aspect of base of distal phalanx of great toe (hallux) Extends great toe and dorsiflexes ankle Extensor digitorum longus: Lateral condyle of tibia and superior three quarters of medial surface of fibula and interosseous membrane

    Extensor hallucis longus; Extensor digitorum longus; Peroneus tertius; Deep fibular (peroneal) nerve and anterior tibial vessels: Lateral compartment: Fibularis longus; Fibularis brevis; Superficial fibular (peroneal) nerve and fibular artery: Deep posterior compartment: Tibialis posterior; Flexor hallucis longus; Flexor digitorum longus; Popliteus

  6. Dorsalis pedis artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsalis_pedis_artery

    The dorsalis pedis artery pulse can be palpated readily lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon (or medially to the extensor digitorum longus tendon) on the dorsal surface of the foot, distal to the dorsal most prominence of the navicular bone which serves as a reliable landmark for palpation.

  7. Plantar reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_reflex

    Toe flexors are innervated by the tibial nerve. Toe extensors (extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus) are innervated by the deep peroneal nerve. Loss of normal adult descending pyramidal control of the reflex arc to suppress extensor withdrawal results in the upgoing toes in the plantar reflex known as Babinski's sign. [11]

    Flexor hallucis longus muscle: Inferior two-thirds of posterior surface of fibula; inferior part of interosseous membrane: Base of distal phalanx of big toe (hallux)
