Peroneus muscles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fibularis muscles (also peronæus) are a group of three muscles fibularis (peronæus) longus, brevis, and tertius originating on the Fibula and inserting on the metatarsals.

The "longus" and "brevis" are much more similar to each other than they are to the "tertius", as shown in the table below.

Name	Compartment	Action	Nerve	Artery
Peroneus longus	lateral compartment	eversion and plantarflexion	superficial fibular nerve	fibular artery
Peroneus brevis	lateral compartment	eversion and plantarflexion	superficial fibular nerve	fibular artery
Peroneus tertius	anterior compartment	eversion only	deep fibular nerve	anterior tibial artery
