Fig. 3A Inferior extensor retinaculum with tibialis anterior tendon
and other extensor tendons in cadaveric foot. Oblique coronal T1-weighted MR
image (TR/TE, 600/24) obtained at level of tarsal sinus (A) and
corresponding anatomic section (B) show tibialis anterior tendon
located within tunnel formed by oblique superomedial limb of inferior extensor
retinaculum (straight arrows), visualized as low-signal-intensity
band in A. This limb inserts at anterior crest of tibia (T) medially
and continues to stem (curved arrow) laterally. From stem,
intermediary (crossed arrow) and lateral (arrowheads) roots
are seen, forming another tunnel for extensor tendon. A = tibialis anterior
tendon, H = extensor hallucis longus tendon, D = extensor digitorum longus
tendon.
