Translations:Dorsale Unterschenkelmuskulatur/164/en

The flexor hallucis longus muscle represents the long big toe flexor. It originates on the posterior surface of the fibula as well as the membrana interossea cruris and the septum intermusculare cruris posterius. It runs down to the tarsus, where the muscle bends. It then runs within the sulcus tendinis musculi flexoris hallucis longi below the sustentaculum tali. The insertion of the flexor hallucis longus muscle lies anterior to the distal phalanx of the great toe. It has other secondary attachments. These are located n the terminal phalanges of toes II-IV.
