16
Q

What are the two main muscles of the superficial, posterior compartment of the leg

A

Gastrocnemius

Soleus

17
Q

What are the origin and insertion of gastrocnemius?

A

lateral and medial condyles of the femur to the calcaneus

18
Q

What is the origin and insertion of soleus?

A

oblique insertion across proximal fibula and tibia, insert into the same tendon as gastrocnemius

19
Q

There are two other small muscles in the posterior superficial compartment. What are they?

A

popliteus, from lateral condyle of femur to proximal tibia above soleus attachment

Plantaris, small, degenerating muscle

20
Q

What is the boundary of the deep, posterior compartment of the leg

A

tibia + fibula + intermuscular septum, transverse intermuscular septum

21
Q

What are the muscles of the posterior deep compartment of the leg?

A

tibialis posterior
flexor digitorum longus
flexor hallucis longus

22
Q

What are the origin and insertion of tibialis posterior

A

origin tibia and fibula, across interosseous membrane

insert into mostly the first metatarsa

23
Q

Why does tibialis posterior need to attach to the same location as tibialis anterior?

A

so inversion and eversion can be cancelled, and dorsiflexion can occur

24
Q

Do the muscles of the deep, posterior compartment run medially or laterally across the ankle joint?

25
What is the insertion of FDL?
split into 4, insert into base of distal phalanx on the plantar surface crosses superficial to FHL
26
What does "Tom, Dick and Very Naughty Harry" stand for?
Tibial posterior, FDL, posterior tibial artery, vein and nerve, FHL anterior to posterior across the medial aspect of the ankle joint, behind the medial malleolus
