	Orthopaedic Journal
		It is important to avoid the superficial peroneal nerve during its exit from the fascia of the lateral compartment traversing anterior in the distal third of the leg.
		The lateral compartment is then released with an incision on the inferior-medial aspect of its overlying fascia, extending to the lateral side of the foot.
		At its most proximal portion, the fascial incision provides access to the lateral compartment where the abductor digiti quinti muscle takes origin from the undersurface of the calcaneus.

	Postgraduate Medicine: Lower extremity compartment syndrome
		It occurs near the anterior intermuscular septum dividing the anterior and lateral compartments at the distal third of the leg.
		The anterior compartment is reached by inserting the catheter halfway between the tibial crest and the lateral intermuscular septum in the central portion of the compartment.
		The compartments most often involved are the anterior and the lateral (14).

	The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Exertional Compartment Syndrome
		It pierces the lateral compartment fascia at the junction of the midthird and distal third of the leg.
		E xertional compartment syndrome (ECS) of the leg--whether acute or chronic--is characterized by exercise-induced pain and swelling that is relieved by rest.
		Each compartment contains a major nerve: the deep peroneal in the anterior compartment, the superficial peroneal in the lateral compartment, the saphenous in the superficial posterior compartment, and the tibial in the deep posterior compartment (figure 1: not shown).

		Compartment syndrome in the leg usually affects the anterior compartment; while in the forearm, the flexor compartment is most susceptible.
		In the lateral compartment, all contents are involved including decreased insertional activity in the peroneus longus and brevis and superficial peroneal sensory absence on nerve conduction study.
		As previously stated, compartment syndrome can be seen in up to 30% of tibial shaft fractures and risk is increased with further manipulation including surgery or pin/rod placement.

		Most of the sensory innervation of the dorsal surface of the foot is supplied by the superficial peroneal nerve, the nerve which supplies muscular innervation to the lateral compartment of the leg.
		The deep peroneal nerve, which supplies muscular innervation to the anterior compartment of the leg, provides cutaneous innervation to the area between the big toe and second toe.
		The posterior tibial artery supplies medial and lateral plantar arteries to the plantar surface of the foot, while the tibial nerve supplies two main branches to the sole of the foot, the medial and lateral plantarnerves (Netter, 497-498).

	Lower Limb Nerves
		The superficial peroneal nerve supplies the muscles in the lateral compartment (peroneus longus and brevis) and the skin over the anterior lower leg and dorsum of the foot.
		The common peroneal nerve may be injured as it winds around the neck of the fibula, resulting in foot drop (anterior compartment muscles), and loss of sensation on the lower anterior leg and dorsum of the foot.
		Cutaneous sensation would be lost over the calf and dorsum, sole and lateral side of the foot.

	Andrew McDonough's Classes at NYU
		After splitting from the posterial artery the peroneal artery moves laterally into the lateral compartment of the leg and provides blood to, among other structures, the peroneus longus and brevis.
		The branch-point of the peroneal artery from the posterior tibial artery is somewhat variable and may branch more proximally from the posterior tibial (perhaps a third of the length of the leg vs. one half) and in some cases it may even branch from the popliteal artery behind the knee.
		The peroneal artery branches from the posterior tibial artery usually in the middle of the posterior leg.

	Treating and Preventing Shin Splints
		Lateral shin splints (sometimes called anterior shin splints) are usually due to overuse and inflammation of the anterior tibialis muscle and the muscle compartment in the front of the leg, along the outside front of your shin.
		If you don't feel it too much, put your toe of the rear leg up on a tree limb, or a dumbbell, or any other small object, so that you bend the ankle more.
		Medial shin splints are usually caused by excessive pronation or flat feet, and often by pounding from running, or sports like tennis, volleyball, and other weight-bearing activities.

	Mechanical Axis Deviation: Definitions, Measurements and Consequences.
		From a practical point of view the objective during deformity correction, total knee arthroplasty or high tibial osteotomy is to replace the centre of the knee on the mechanical axis of the leg, thus equalizing load sharing in each compartment.
		Instrumented gait analysis is the ideal modality for assessing dynamic components of deformity, such as the lateral thrust which accompanies genu varum.
		Therefore a "varus" deformity in the tibia (referring to the distal segment by convention) is better described as an "apex lateral" deformity; that is the apex or bow points laterally although the distal segment points medially.

	biceps femoris muscle (anatomy) - General Practice Notebook
		The nerve supply of biceps femoris reflects the fact that the short head develops in the flexor compartment of the thigh - it is innervated by the common peroneal branch of the sciatic nerve (L5, S1).
		The biceps femoris muscle of the leg derives its name from having two heads of origin, long and short.
		The short head originates from the lateral lip of the middle third of the linea aspera and the lateral supracondylar line of the femur.
