Proximal posterolateral aspect of the tibia. Proxmial posteromedial aspect of the fibula and the interosseous membrane. |
Mid portion |
Situated in the deep posterior compartment of the lower leg and runs proximal to the medial malleoli where it is secured by the flexor retinaculum. |
Insertion |
The major insertion is onto the navicula and the plantar slip attatches to the medial cuniform |
