Anatomy and Function of the Leg, Ankle, and Foot

The Superior Tibiofibular joint is a (a)   joint.

• Synovial
• Fibrous
• Cartilaginous

The Inferior Tibiofibular joint is a (a)   joint.

• Syndesmosis
• Synovial
• Diarthroses

The Inferior Tibiofibular Joint allows slight separation during (a)   .

• Dorsiflexion
• Plantarflexion
• Inversion
• Eversion

Organize these muscles into the right compartment

Groups:

(a) Anterior Compartment

,

(b) Lateral Compartment

,

(c) Posterior Compartment

Match the following compartments of the leg with their primary nerve supply:

• Tibial nerve

• Posterior compartment

• Deep peroneal nerve

• Anterior compartment

• Superficial peroneal nerve

The superior extensor retinaculum is a strong transverse band connecting the distal tibia and fibula, just above the ankle joint.

• False

The inferior extensor retinaculum is​ (a)   -shaped, with its stem attaching to the (b)   , and its two limbs attaching to the medial malleolus and the plantar aponeurosis.
