  1. THE ANKLE By Angela Perkins, NikiLanier & Justin Longhurst

  2. How can these ankles return to play?

  3. Muscles of the ANKLE

  4. Fibularis (peroneus) Longus • Origin: Arises from the head and upper 2/3 of the lateral surface of the fibula. • Insertion: This muscle ends in a long tendon that runs behind the lateral mallelous and cross obliquely on the planter surface of the foot to insert at the base of the 1stmetatarsel and medial cuneiform bone. • Action:Everts the foot and is a weak planter flexor of the foot at the ankle.

  5. Fibularis (peroneus) Brevis • Origin: Arises from the distal 2/3 of the lateral surface of the fibula • Insertion: Fibers of this muscle course downward, ending as a tendon that passes behind the lateral malleolus and runs forward to insert into the tuberosity on the lateral side of the base of the 5thmetatarsel • Action: Everts the foot and acts as a weak plantar flexor of the foot at the ankle joint.

  6. Tibialis Anterior • Origin: Arises from the lateral condyle and superior half of the lateral surface of the tibia and from the interosseousmemberane • Insertion: Inserts into the medial and inferior surfaces of the medial cuneiform tarsel and the base of the 1stmetatarsel • Action: Dorsiflexes the foot at the ankle and inverts the foot at the subtalar and midtarsal joints.

  7. Extensor HallucisLongus • Origin: Arises from the middle portion of the anterior surface of the fibula and the interosseous membrane. • Insertion: Inserts on the dorsal aspect of the base of the distal phalanx of the big toe • Action: Extends the big toe, assists in dorsiflexion of the foot at the ankle, and is a weak invertor.

  8. Extensor Digitorum Longus • Origin: Arises from the lateral condyle of the tibia, most of the upper surface of the body of the fibula, and the interosseous membrane. • Insertion: After passing beneath the superior and inferior extensor retinacula, the tendon divides into 4 slips that insert into the middle and distal phalanges of the toes 2 through 5 • Action: Extends the proximal phalanges of the lateral 4 toes and is dorsiflexor of the foot at the ankle.

  9. Gastrocnemius • Origin: This muscle has 2 heads. The lateral head arises from the lateral aspect of the lateral condyle of the femur. The medial head arises from the posterior part of the medial condyle and the popliteal surface of the femur above the medial condyle. • Insertion: The fibers of this muscle unite to form a tendinousraphe. The raphe expands into a broad aponeurosis that unites with the tendon of the soleus and forms the calcaneal tendon. The tendon attaches to the posterior surface of the calcaneus. • Action: Plantar flexes the foot at the ankle, flexes the leg at the knee, and raises the heel during walking.

  10. Soleus • Origin: Arises from the posterior aspect of the head of the fibula, the proximal third of the posterior body of the fibula, the soleal line, and the medial border of the tibia • Insertion: The muscle fibers end in an aponeurosis that thickens, narros, and joins the gastrocnemius. The resulting calcaneal tendon inserts on the posterior surface of the calcaneus • Action: The muscle plantar flexes the foot at the ankle and is an important postural muscle. Apparently, it is constantly active, even during quiet standing, and it aids in maintaining balance.

  11. Plantaris • Origin: Arises from the inferior end of the lateral supracondylar line of the femur and the oblique popiteal ligament. • Insertion: This muscle’s long, slender tendon crosses obliquely between the gastrocnemius and soleus and inserts into the posterior part of the calcaneus, often fusing with the calcaneal tendon. • Action: Weakly assists the gastrocnemius in plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle and flexion of the leg at the knee.

  12. Flexor HallucisLongus • Origin: Arises from the inferior 2/3 of the posterior surface of the fibula and from the inferior portion of the interosseous membrane. • Insertion: Its tendon enters the foot with the tendons of the flexor digitorum longer and the tibialis posterior. It inserts on the base of the distal phalanx of the big toe. • Action: Flexes the distal phalanx of the big toe, planter flexes the foot at the ankle, and helps propel the foot during walking or running.

  13. Tibialis Posterior • Origin: Arises from the posterior surface of the interosseous membrane, the posterior aspect of the tibia inferior to the soleal line, and the posterior surface of the fibula. • Insertion: Inserts on the tuberosity of the navicular bone; the plantar surfaces of the cubiod and cuneiform bones; and the bases of the 2nd, 3rd & 4th metatarsals. • Action: Plantar flexes the foot at the ankle and inverts the foot when the foot is not bearing weight.
