QuestionAnswer
purpose of the groove of the cuboid peroneus/fibularis longus runs along this grove to the plantar aspect of the 1st MT and medial cuneiforms
location of the groove for the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) 1. on the medial aspect of the calcaneus, posterior the sustentaculum tali
location and purpose of the sesamoid bones located on the plantar aspect of the 1st MT head. purpose to reduce the pressure on the FHL
where does the talus, tibia and fibula articulate? trochlear surface of the anterior portion of the talus
where is the peroneal/fibular trochlea located? on the lateral aspect of the calcaneus posterior calcaneocuboid jt
what groove is located under the peroneal/fibular trochlea? groove for the peroneus/fibularis longus
What is the fibular notch? It is a notch on the lateral, distal portion of the tibia where the fibula fits in with the tibia and articulates.
Where is the groove for the FHL on the tibia? on the medial, distal aspect of the tibia. more medial the groove for the posterior tibialis
Where is the groove for the semimebranosus? on the medial, proximal portion of the tibia, the groove is located below the medial tibial plateau
