[Peroneal tendons do exist, don't they?]
Abstract:
Peroneal tendon disorders are a significant but often overlooked cause of posterolateral ankle and lateral foot pain. When left untreated, peroneal tendon disorders can lead to persistent pain and substantial functional problems. The goals of this review are to develop a current understanding of the regional anatomy, as well as diagnostic evaluation and current treatment options of the peroneal tendon disorders, and to present nowadays preferred surgical techniques for operative management of peroneal tendon disorders. More specific details related to peroneal tendon luxation, intrasheath subluxation of peroneal tendons, peroneal trendinopathy, peroneal tendon tears and painful os peroneum syndrome are reported in this review article.

Muscles that Move the Leg
Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...
Somatic Spinal Reflexes
One of the most well-known somatic spinal reflexes is the stretch reflex, which is activated by the sudden stretching of a muscle. This reflex involves the activation of specialized sensory receptors called muscle spindles, which are located in the muscle tissue and detect changes in the length and speed of muscle contractions. When a muscle is suddenly...
