 Peroneus longus muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
It is a muscle of the lateral compartment of the leg and is innervated by the superficial peroneal nerve.

 Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The flexor retinaculum constitutes the roof of the tarsal tunnel and is formed by the deep fascia of the leg and the deep transverse fascia (Richli, Roger, Carrasco, Charnsangavej, Rosenthal and Wallace, 1993).
The posterior tibial nerve lies between the posterior tibial muscle and the flexor digitorum longus muscle in the proximal region of the leg and then passes to lie between the flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus muscle in the distal region of the leg (Holmes, 1994).
The second is the release of the abductor fascia in the opening of the abductor hallucis muscle (the region where the posterior tibial nerves and vessels enter the plantar aspect of the foot).

To date, there is little published in the literature regarding augmenting the Achilles tendon with the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle and tendon to provide a dynamic repair of chronic Achilles tendon ruptures.
Conclusion: Despite the relatively high wound complication rate (44%), we believe that the technique of Achilles tendon reconstruction with FHL transfer is valuable and should be considered an option for the patient with a symptomatic chronic Achilles tendon tear.
Methods: The cases of 29 patients (32 feet) surgically treated with flexor hallucis longus (FHL) transfer for reconstruction of symptomatic chronic Achilles tendon disorders between 1994 and 2000 were retrospectively reviewed.
