Introduction

A = Talocrural joint B = Talocalcaneonaviwcular joint C = Transverse tarsal joint (Chopart joint line) D = Tarsometatarsal joints (Lisfranc joint line) 1 Tibia 2 Deep flexor muscles of leg 3 Superficial flexor muscles of leg 4 Ankle joint 5 Interosseous talocalcaneal ligament 6 Subtalar joint 7 Calcaneal or Achilles tendon and bursa 8 Calcaneus 9 Vessels and nerves of foot 10 Talus 11 Talocalcaneonavicular joint 12 Navicular bone 13 Cuneonavicular joint 14 Intermediate cuneiform bone 15 First tarsometatarsal joint 16 Metatarsal bones 17 Metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints 18 Quadratus plantae muscle with flexor tendons 19 Flexor digitorum brevis muscle 20 Plantar aponeurosis 21 Tendon of tibialis posterior muscle 22 Tendon of flexor hallucis longus muscle 23 Flexor hallucis brevis muscle 24 Sesamoid bone 25 Cuboid bone 26 Fibula 27 Medial cuneiform bone 28 Lateral cuneiform bone 29 Phalanges[1]

Intrinsic muscles of the foot. Plantar intrinsics: Layer 1: 1 = abductor hallucis, 2 = flexor digitorum brevis, 3 = abductor digiti minimi; Layer 2: 4 = quadratus plantae, 5 = lumbricals 1-4; Layer 3: 6 = flexor digiti minimi, 7a = adductor hallucis oblique head, 7b = adductor hallucis transverse head, 8 = flexor hallucis brevis; Layer 4: Dorsal Interossei. Dorsal Intrinsics: 10 = dorsal interossei, 11 = extensor digitorum brevis[6]
