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
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.
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
The superior extensor retinaculum binds down the tendons of extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, peroneus tertius, and tibialis anterior as they descend on the front of the tibia and fibula; under it are found also the anterior tibial vessels and deep peroneal nerve. [1]
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. [3]
Enumerated from the medial side, the four canals which it forms transmit the tendons of the tibialis posterior and flexor digitorum longus muscles; the posterior tibial artery and tibial nerve, which run through a broad space beneath the ligament; and lastly, in a canal formed partly by the talus, the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus.
