    Study Notes

    Plantar Fascia

    • Originates from the calcaneal tuberosity and attaches to the plantar plates and skin
    • Composed of three bands: medial, central, and lateral
    • Central band fans out distally and forms digital slips
    • Superficial slips attach to the skin anterior to the metatarsal heads
    • Deep slips attach to plantar plates and deep transverse metatarsal ligaments
    • Help form flexor sheaths

    Compartments of the Plantar Foot

    • True fascial compartments separated by intermuscular septa
    • Medial compartment: FHB, abductor hallucis, and FHL tendon
    • Lateral compartment: Flexor digiti minimi brevis, abductor digiti minimi
    • Central compartment: FDB, QP, lumbricals, and adductor hallucis
    • Interosseous compartment: Dorsal and plantar interossei

    Extensor Expansion

    • Functions as a compound tendinous attachment of EDL and EDB
    • Lateral wing: lumbrical and medial wing
    • Plantar to deep transverse metatarsal ligament and plantar interosseous
    • Dorsal to deep transverse metatarsal ligament and extensor expansion wing

    Muscles with Attachments Other than to Bone

    • Quadratus plantae: attaches to the lumbricals and FDL tendon
    • Lumbricals: attach to the FDL tendon and plantar plates
    • Adductor hallucis: attaches to the transverse head and extensor expansion
    • Extensor digitorum brevis: attaches to the EDL tendon and forms wing laterally

    Retinacula

    • Superior peroneal retinaculum: thickening of deep fascia that attaches to the calcaneus and forms one tendon sheath
    • Inferior peroneal retinaculum: attaches to the calcaneus and forms two tendon sheaths
    • Flexor retinaculum: attaches to the calcaneus and forms the tarsal tunnel
    • Four fibrous tunnels and three tendon sheaths

    Innervation

    • Dorsal foot: innervated by the superficial peroneal nerve, medial dorsal cutaneous nerve, and intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve
    • Plantar foot: innervated by the medial plantar nerve, lateral plantar nerve, and sural nerve

    Arteries

    • Posterior tibial artery: bifurcates near the sustentaculum tali into the medial plantar artery and lateral plantar artery
    • Medial plantar artery: smaller and deeper
    • Lateral plantar artery: larger and more superficial
    • Terminal branches of the posterior tibial artery: medial plantar artery and lateral plantar artery
