Anatomy Of The Tibialis Posterior Muscle - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the anatomy of the tibialis posterior muscle. The tibialis posterior is relatively a small muscle located within the back of the calf. The tibialis posterior is located within the posterior compartment of the leg. Some believe that the tibialis posterior muscle may have its own compartment. Origin: it originates form the upper 2/3 of the back of the tibia lateral to the vertical line and below the soleal line. It also originates from the upper 2/3 of the fibula, deep transverse fascia, adjacent intramuscular septa, and posterior surface of the interosseous membrane. Insertion: the muscle and then the tendon of the tibialis posterior travel distally running posterior to the medial malleolus of the tibia within the groove. It then splits into a medial and lateral part. The medial insertion (important) of the tendon is inserted into the tuberosity of the navicular bone and the medial cuneiform bone. The lateral part of the tendon inserts in
