Abstract
The tibialis anterior muscle originates on the lateral condyle of the tibia, on the upper two-thirds of the lateral surface of this bone, on the anterior surface of the interosseous membrane and on the deep surface of the fascia cruris. The distal attachment is typically at the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal. However, the tibialis anterior tendon can vary morphologically in both adults and fetuses. Different authors have created new classification systems for it. The main aim of this review is to present condensed information about the tibialis anterior tendon based on the available literature. Another aim is to compare classification systems and the results of previous studies.
Highlights
Published: 19 August 2021The leg is divided into an anterior, a lateral and a posterior crural compartment [1].The tibialis anterior muscle (TAM), called tibialis anticus, belongs to the anterior compartment formed by the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius [1]
The important thing is that in the classification by Olewnik et al [12], Type III was represented by a wider component that inserted onto the first metatarsal and a narrower component that inserted onto the medial cuneiform, classified as Type IV in previous studies by Musiał [15], Brenner [17] and Willeggar et al [14]
Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the sexes in age, craniosacral length or total lower limb lengthThe stage of this study was to create the first classification system of the tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) among fetuses based on morphological variations of its insertion
Summary
The leg is divided into an anterior, a lateral and a posterior crural compartment [1]. The tibialis anterior muscle (TAM), called tibialis anticus, belongs to the anterior compartment formed by the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus and fibularis tertius [1]. It arises from the lateral condyle of the tibia and from the upper two-thirds of the lateral surface of the tibia. The main aim of this review is to present condensed information on the TAT based on the available literature Another aim is to compare the classification systems and the results of previous studies in both adults and fetuses. Information on the most common pathologies associated with TAT is provided in this manuscript
