Dissection of plantar aspect of left foot
Long flexor tendons and lumbrical muscles
The lateral tendons of the flexor digitorum longus have been slightly elevated.
- Common plantar digital artery
- Flexor hallucis longus muscle (tendon within opened digital sheath)
- Adductor hallucis muscle
- Flexor hallucis brevis muscle
- Deep branch lateral plantar nerve
- Area of origin of flexor digitorum brevis muscle and plantar aponeurosis
- Flexor digitorum longus muscle
- Flexor hallucis longus muscle (tendon within opened flexor retinaculum at ankle)
- Tuberosity of calcaneus
- Tibial nerve
- Lumbrical muscles
- Flexor digiti minimi brevis muscle
- Quadratus plantae muscle
- Lateral plantar artery
- Position of tendon of peroneus longus muscle
- Abductor digiti minimi muscle (cut off at origin)
- Accessory peroneus muscle
- Lateral malleolus (pointer on groove for peroneal tendons)
