Description[edit | edit source]
The triceps surae is a term applied to the calf muscles, specifically the soleus muscle as well as the lateral and medial heads of the gastrocnemius muscle.
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
Both the soleus and gastrocnemius are part of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg and are innervated by the tibial nerve.
Function[edit | edit source]
The triceps surae muscles form the achilles tendon distally, producing the majority of ankle dorsiflexion (up to 93%).
