  Fibularis longus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fibularis longus (also known as peroneus longus) is a superficial muscle in the human leg, and acts to evert and plantar flex the ankle.
Fibularis longus becomes a tendon that goes posteriorly around the lateral malleolus of the ankle, then continues under the foot to attach to the 1st metatarsal.
It is a muscle of the lateral compartment of the leg and is innervated by the superficial fibular nerve.

 Peroneus longus muscle
The muscle peroneus longus (also known as fibularis longus) is a superficial muscle in the human leg, and acts to evert and plantar flex the ankle.
Peroneus longus becomes a tendon that goes posterially around the lateral malleolus of the ankle[?], then continues under the foot to attach to the 1st metatarsal.
Being a muscle of the lateral compartment of the leg, peroneus longus is innervated by the superficial peroneal nerve[?].

fibularis longus arises by an aponeurosis from the lateral corner of the patellar crest and the lateral surface of the proximal third of M. tibialis cranialis.
Distally it arises from an aponeurosis on the medial surface of the fibularis brevis.
flexor digitorum longus trifurcates, and the branch to the hallux is the exceptional one, in that it arises from the dorsal surface of the com- mon tendon.

 Muscles of the Leg
This compartment is bounded by the lateral surface of the fibula, the anterior and posterior crural fascia.
The fibularis longus is a narrow muscle that extends from the head of the fibula to the sole of the foot.
The tendons of the three deep muscles (flexor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, and tibialis posterior) pass deep to the flexor retinaculum of the ankle.

 Chapter 16: The leg
The fibularis (peroneus) longus and brevis muscles lie between the anterior and posterior intermuscular septa, and they arise from these septa, as well as from fascia and the fibula, itself (figs.
The fibularis brevis lies deep to the longus and inserts on the tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal at the lateral side of the foot.
The flexor digitorum longus resembles the flexor digitorum profundus of the upper limb, in that each muscle has four tendons (omitting one for the great toe), gives origin to lumbricals, has fibrous and synovial sheaths, is anchored to the phalanges by vincula, and is inserted into the distal phalanges (see fig.

The insertion is on the caudal surface of the fibula.
The oth- er extends distally alongside the extensor digitorum longus tendon and fuses with it on the distal end of the proximal phalanx.
A second interpretation of M. extensor hal- lucis longus in A. albifrons is that the large belly is pars proximalis and its insertion on the distal hallux is thus as in other birds.

 Lecture Notes: Leg & Ankle - Revised 11/00
N.B. In your textbook structures associated with the lateral aspect of the crus are named using their Latin (fibula) rather than their Greek root (perone; as in Netter's Atlas), that is:
The latin root (fibular, fibularis) is anatomically correct (Nomina Anatomica, 1989) but historically the Greek roots have held sway and it is the Greek terms you will most likely hear in your clinical education.
Both names are given in the outline below
