Lateral condyle
Proximal lateral condyle of the tibia
Fibula
Smaller lateral bone of the leg
Lateral malleolus
Distal projection of the fibula
Medial malleolus bone
Projection from the tibia
Lateral malleolus bone
Projection from the fibula
Tarsals
Bones of the ankle/proximal foot
Calcaneus
Heel bone
Talus
Tarsal bone that articulates superiorly with the tibia and fibula
Metatarsals
Five bones of the foot
Phalanges
Fourteen bones of the toes
Anterior compartment of leg common action
All muscles dorsiflex the foot at the ankle joint
Tibialis anterior
Dorsiflexes the foot and also inverts the foot
Tibialis anterior tendon
Tendon attaches to the plantar surface of the foot
Extensor digitorum longus
Dorsiflexes the foot and extends toes 2-5
Extensor hallucis longus
Dorsiflexes the foot and extends the big toe
Hallucis
Refers to the big toe
Lateral compartment of leg common actions
Everts the foot and weakly plantar flexes the foot
Fibularis longus
Everts and weakly plantar flexes the foot
Fibularis longus tendon
Travels to the sole of the foot
Fibularis brevis
Everts and weakly plantar flexes the foot
Fibularis brevis tendon
Attaches to the 5th metatarsal
Posterior compartment of leg common action
Most muscles plantar flex the foot; some also flex the toes
Posterior compartment groups
Superficial group and deep group
Superficial posterior leg group
All muscles plantar flex the foot at the ankle
Gastrocnemius
Plantar flexes the foot and also flexes the leg at the knee
Soleus
Plantar flexes the foot
Plantaris
Plantar flexes the foot and also flexes the leg at the knee
Plantaris strength
Weak plantar flexor
Gastrocnemius and soleus
Powerful plantar flexors
Calcaneal (Achilles) tendon
Tendon through which gastrocnemius and soleus attach to the calcaneus
Deep posterior leg group
Contains popliteus, tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, and flexor hallucis longus
Popliteus
Flexes the leg at the knee joint
Does popliteus plantar flex?
No; popliteus does NOT plantar flex the foot

Dorsiflexion
Movement that brings the top of the foot toward the leg
Plantar flexion
Movement that points the foot downward
Inversion
Turning the sole of the foot medially
Eversion
Turning the sole of the foot laterally
Anterior leg compartment
Main action is dorsiflexion
