    Lateral and Posterior Compartment of The Lower Leg

    Uploaded by

    Kaarlota Abilo
    The lateral compartment of the lower leg contains the peroneal muscle group including the peroneus longus and brevis muscles. These muscles evert the foot and plantarflex the ankle. The lateral compartment is innervated by the superficial fibular nerve and supplied by branches of the anterior tibial and fibular arteries. The posterior compartment contains deep and superficial parts. The superficial part contains the gastrocnemius, plantaris, and soleus muscles which plantarflex the ankle. The deep part contains muscles that flex the toes and big toe. Both compartments are supplied by the tibial nerve and posterior tibial artery.

    Lateral and Posterior Compartment of the Lower Leg

    Presented by: Charlotte Abilo, Geofil Pangantihon, Jayson Lalantacon

    Lateral Compartment

    Contains muscles that perform eversion of foot. Peroneal muscle group Peroneal nerve

    The lateral compartment of the leg is supplied by the superficial fibular nerve. Its proximal and distal arterial supply consists of perforating branches of the anterior tibular artery and fibular artery. It contains the evertors of the foot fibularis longus and fibularis brevis. These muscles also are involved in plantar.

    Nerve:

    The superficial peroneal nerve branches from the common peroneal nerve near the neck of the fibula and passes between the peroneus longus and brevis muscles, at which point they supply the muscles. The superficial branch then continues onto the dorsum of the foot to supply the skin there.

    Arteries:

    The anterior tibial artery of the lower limb carries blood to the anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot, from the popliteal artery. Along its course, It is accompanied by a deep vein, the anterior tibial vein.

    The fibular artery (also known as the peroneal artery) supplies blood to the lateral compartment of the leg and is typically a branch of posterior tibial artery.

    Muscles:

    The muscles on the outside of the lower leg are the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis. These muscles pull the foot outward (eversion). Muscles That Act On The Foot | Leg and Foot Muscles | Calf Muscles

    The posterior compartment of the leg is usually subdivided into superficial and deep parts.

    Superficial Posterior Compartment


    Contains muscles that plantar flex the ankle Structures: small saphenous vein peroneal communicating branch of the common peroneal nerve medial cutaneous nerve of the calf sural

    Muscles:

    The superficial part of the posterior compartment of the leg is made up of three muscles: gastrocnemius plantaris soleus

    The deepest layer of muscles includes the:tibialis posterior flexor digitorum longus flexor hallucis longus

    Nerve

    The muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg are all supplied by the tibial nerve.

    Artery:

    The posterior tibial artery supplies the tissues of the posterior compartment of the leg. It is one of the terminal branches of the popliteal artery.
