1. Calcaneus lies below the talus
2. forms the heel of the foot
Arrow points to shelf like medial projection called sustenaculum tali
What is the role of the sustentaculum tali?
supports head of the talus and has a groove on its inferior surface for flexor hallucis longus tendon
What is the bone pointed with the left pointer?
What does the picture on the right show and what is attached?
navicular bone- lies between head of talus and three cuneiform bones
- navicular tuberosity- attaches tibialis posterior
What is the name of the spring ligament?
plantar calcaneonavicular
What divides the posterior compartment into two parts and what are those parts?
tranverse septa

deep and superficial
What nerve/ vessels are deep to the transverse crural intermuscular septum?
tibial nerve
Explain aspects of the medial and lateral head of the gastrocnemius?
1. medial-
- superior to medial femoral condyle
- medial head slightly larger

2. lateral-
- lateral aspect superior to lateral femoral condyle
Where do the medial and lateral aspects of the gastrocnemius lie?
What is there primary function?
1. medial-
- superior to medial femoral condyle
- medial head slightly larger

2. lateral-
- lateral aspect superior to lateral femoral condyle

Plantar flexion and flexes leg at knee joint
What sesamoid bone may lie close to proximal attachment of gastrocnemius and what problems could that cause?
fabella
- fabellar stress may cause severe pain and a total knee replacement may be needed
Where does the soleus attach and insert?
What 2 things is it influential in forming does it form?
What are its intended actions?
proximal horshoe shaped- plantarflexion
1. soleal line of tibia
2. posterior head of fibula and superior 1/4 of posterior fibula

Distal
1. surface of calcaneus via tendo calcaneus (achilles tendon)

with gastrocnemius "triceps surae" and calf prominence
What muscle does this point to and what is action? What is interesting about it?
What are attachments?
PLANTARIS
Weak plantar and leg flexion

high amount of proprioceptive receptors for foot position

Lateral end of lateral supracondylar lin, in between gastrocnemius and soleus and posterior surface of calcanael tendon
What is mostly likely the cause of the injury?
a. violent ankle movment or sudden dorsiflexion (usually seen in sprinters, ballet dancers and basketball players)?
torn plantaris muscle
What tendon is commonly used in reconstructive surgery of hand tendons?
plantaris long tendon
What are the four muscles in the deep posterior crural compartment?
1. popliteus
2. flexor hallucis longus
3. Flexor digitorum long
4. Tibialis posterior
What are the arteries of the popliteal fossa?
1. genicular (superior medial, superior later, inferior medial, inferior lateral)
What are the attachments of this muscle?
flexor hallucis longus-
- shallow groove on posterior surface of sustenaculum tali of calcaneus
-approaches great toe
- distal attachment- base of distal phalanx of great toe

action- flexes great to plantar flex foot at ankle
