The '''inferior extensor retinaculum of the foot''' ('''cruciate crural ligament''', '''lower part of anterior annular ligament''') is a Y-shaped band placed in front of the [[ankle-joint]], the stem of the Y being attached laterally to the upper surface of the [[calcaneus]], in front of the depression for the [[interosseous talocalcaneal ligament]]; it is directed medialward as a double layer, one lamina passing in front of, and the other behind, the tendons of the [[peroneus tertius]] and [[extensor digitorum longus]]. |
|||
At the medial border of the latter tendon, these two layers join together, forming a compartment in which the tendons are enclosed. |
|||
From the medial extremity of this sheath, the two limbs of the Y diverge: one is directed upward and medialward, to be attached to the [[tibial malleolus]], passing over the [[extensor hallucis longus]] and the vessels and nerves but enclosing the [[tibialis anterior]] by a splitting of its fibers. |
|||
The other limb extends downward and medialward, to be attached to the border of the [[plantar aponeurosis]], and passes over the tendons of the extensor hallucis longus and tibialis anterior and also the vessels and nerves. |
