Abductor hallucis and flexor hallucis brevis
(Muscles of Foot)
Central compartment
Flexor digitorum brevis, quadratus plantae, lumbricals, and adductor hallucis
(Muscles of Foot)
Lateral compartment
Abductor digiti minimi and flexor digiti minimi brevis
(Muscles of Foot)
Interosseous compartment
Dorsal and plantar interosseous muscles
(Muscles of Foot)
Dorsal compartment
Extensor hallucis brevis and extensor digitorum brevis
(Fascia of Foot)
Medial compartment
Covered by the medial plantar fascia
(Fascia of Foot)
Central compartment

(Fascia of Foot)
Lateral compartment
Covered by the lateral plantar fascia
(Fascia of Foot)
Interosseous compartment
Surrounded by plantar and dorsal interosseous fascia
(Fascia of Foot)

talus form the tibia; calcaneus (heel)
(Arches of the foot)

slightly flattened
(Arches of the foot)
Lateral longitudinal arch:
- Calcaneus, cuboid, 4th and 5th metatarsals
- Primary function = suport
(Arches of the foot)
Medial longitudinal arch:
- Calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuneiforms, 1st-3rd metatarsals
- More dynamic, major roles in shock absorption and propulsion
