Tibialis posterior IO Innervation
Origin:
* Posterior surfaces of interosseous membrane
* Adjacent margin of the tibia and fibula
Insertion:
* Medial portion: Navicular tuberosity; Medial cuneiform (main insertion)
- Lateral portion: Intermediate and lateral cuneiforms; Bases of 2nd-4th metatarsal bones (and sometimes cuboid)
- Recurrent portion: Sustentaculum tali of the calcaneus
Innervation:
Tibial nerve
Tibialis posterior Action
- Plantarflexion of foot at ankle joint

Popliteus IO Action Innervation
Origin:
* Lateral condyle of the femur
Insertion:
* Posterior surface of the tibia above the soleal line
Action
* Flexion of the leg at knee joint

Innervation
* Tibial nerve
What muscle are innervated by Deep fibular nerve
Tibialis posterior
Extensor hallucis longus
Extensor digitorum longus
Fibularis tertius
What muscles are innervated by Superficial fibular nerve
Fibularis longus, brevis
What muscles are innervated by Tibial nerve
Gastrocnemius
Soleus
Flexor hallucis, digitorum longus
Plantaris
Popliteus
Difference between lateral and medial meniscus
*Lateral meniscus is smaller and shaped like the letter “O”4
*Lateral meniscus: not attached to collateral ligament and more mobile and less risk of injury
*Medial meniscus: more stationary and attaches to the collateral ligament
*Lateral meniscus attaches to the popliteus muscle
Where is the most common fracture site on tibia
*Junction of the inferior and middle two-thirds
*Tibial shaft at the site is the narrowest+close to the skin
*Most common location in the body for a compound fracture
Where is the common fibular nerve most susceptible to injury?
Neck of fibula
Common injury:
*Trauma or injury to the lateral aspect of the knee (laceration)
*Neck of fibula fracture (Bumper fracture)
*Use of tight plaster cast on the lower leg
*Crossing legs regularly
