The superior peroneal retinaculum: an anatomic study
Foot & Ankle International
|May 1, 1994
Abstract:
The superior peroneal retinaculum is thought to be the primary restraint to subluxation and/or dislocation of the peroneal tendons as they pass posterior to the distal fibula. The descriptions in anatomy texts vary widely. This anatomical study describes the different patterns of insertions for the superior peroneal retinaculum and its relationship to the peroneal tendons and the ligaments of the lateral ankle.

01:10Ankle Joint
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
01:16Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...
