Muscles of the gluteal region and posterior
aspect of thigh–I
 Hamstring muscles consisting
of semimembranosus,
semitendinosus, and biceps
femoris
 Adductor magnus muscle.
The adductor magnus is a large
muscle with two parts: one
belongs to the adductor group
and the other to the hamstring
group. The adductor part is
innervated by the obturator
nerve and the hamstring part
by the tibial portion of the
sciatic nerve.

Dorsum of foot
 The dorsalis pedis artery
(dorsal artery of foot) and
deep fibular nerve lie
midway between the
malleoli.
 The dorsal artery of foot is
crossed by the extensor
hallucis brevis muscle and
disappears between the two
heads of the first dorsal
interosseous muscle.

SDU. LIZHENHUA
Medial ankle region
 The posterior tibial artery
and the tibial nerve lie
between the flexor digitorum
longus and flexor hallucis
longus muscles and divide
into medial and lateral
plantar branches.
 The tibialis posterior and
flexor digitorum longus
tendons occupy separate
osseofibrous tunnels
posterior to the medial
malleolus
