Document Summary

Posterior compartment: deep and superficial: superficial compartment, gastrocnemius, plantaris, soleus, deep compartment, flexor digitorum longus, tibialis posterior, flexor hallucis longus. 3 muscles that join into 1 common tendon: pa: above medial and lateral femoral condyles. Extends down calcaneal tendon (achilles" tendon) to attach onto calcaneal tuberosity (back bump of calcaneus) Calcaneal tendon (achilles" tendon: da, n : tibial nerve (s1 s2, a: knee flexion (stronger in knee extension); plantarflexion. Calcaneal tendon (achilles" tendon: deep to gastrocnemius, pa, da, n: tibial nerve (s1 s2, a: plantarflexion (stronger in knee flexion, plantaris, pa: superior to lateral femoral condyle. Calcaneal tendon (achilles" tendon: da, n: tibial nerve (s1 s2, a: weak knee flexion; weak plantarflexion, tendon of plantaris often used in tommy john surgery or other reconstructive surgeries, such as the knee. Flexor hallucis longus: pa: lower posterior surface of fibula, travels behind medial malleolus. Groove for it on tibia and talus. Runs between sesamoid bones of big toe: da:
