3 . Adductor hallucis muscle
4 . Flexor hallucis brevis muscle
5 . Deep branch lateral plantar nerve
6 . Area of origin of flexor digitorum brevis muscle and plantar aponeurosis
7 . Flexor digitorum longus muscle
8 . Flexor hallucis longus muscle (tendon within opened flexor retinaculum at ankle)
9 . Tuberosity of calcaneus
10 . Tibial nerve
11 . Lumbrical muscles
12 . Flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle
13 . Quadratus plantae muscle
14 . Lateral plantar artery
15 . Position of tendon of peroneus longus muscle
