| facet rhizotomy | A percutaneous radio frequency lysis of the innervation of a facet. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Lenoir's facet | The medial articular surface of the patella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circumflex fibular artery | <anatomy, artery> The circumflex fibular branch, a branch of the posterior tibial artery which winds around the neck of the fibula and joins the anastomoses around the knee joint. Synonym: ramus circumflexus fibularis arteriae tibialis posterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common fibular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal divisions of the sciatic nerve, diverging from the tibial nerve at the upper end of the popliteal fossa, then coursing with the biceps tendon along the lateral portion of the popliteal space to wind around the neck of the fibula where it divides into the superficial and deep peroneal nerves. The common peroneal nerve, or its deep branch, is the most commonly injured nerve, being located in a lateral subcutaneous position at the fibular neck; a lesion causes a loss of ability to dorsiflex the foot ("foot drop"). Synonym: nervus fibularis communis, nervus peroneus communis, common fibular nerve, lateral popliteal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| short fibular muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lower two-thirds of lateral surface of fibula; insertion, base of fifth metatarsal bone; action, everts foot; nerve supply, superficial peroneal. Synonym: musculus fibularis brevis, musculus peroneus brevis, short fibular muscle, short peroneal muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superficial fibular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the common peroneal nerve which passes downward in the lateral compartment of the leg to supply the peroneus longus and brevis muscles and terminate as the intermediate and medial dorsal cutaneous nerves supplying the skin of the dorsum of the foot and toes (except for adjacent sides of great and second toes). Synonym: nervus fibularis superficialis, nervus peroneus superficialis, musculocutaneous nerve of leg, superficial fibular nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deep fibular nerve | <anatomy, nerve> One of the terminal branches of the common peroneal nerve, arising at the fibular neck and passing into the anterior compartment of the leg; it supplies the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and peroneus tertius muscles in the leg, then crosses the ankle joint to supply the muscles on the dorsum of the foot (extensors hallucis and digitorum brevis) becoming cutaneous to innervate adjacent sides of the great and second toes. Synonym: nervus fibularis profundus, nervus peroneus profundus, anterior tibial nerve, deep fibular nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular | Relating to the fibula. Synonym: fibularis. Origin: L. Fibularis (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, posterior tibial; distribution, soleus, tibialis posterior, flexor longus hallucis, peroneal muscles, inferior tibiofibular articulation, and ankle joint; anastomoses, anterior lateral malleolar, lateral tarsal, lateral plantar, dorsalis pedis. Synonym: arteria peronea, arteria fibularis, fibular artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular collateral ligament | <anatomy> The cordlike ligament that passes from the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the head of the fibula. Synonym: ligamentum collaterale fibulare, lateral ligament of knee, Winslow's ligament. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular collateral ligament of ankle | The calcaneofibular ligament, anterior talofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament together maintaining the integrity of the lateral aspect of the talocrural joint. Synonym: fibular collateral ligament of ankle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular lymph node | A small inconstant lymph node located along the course of the peroneal vein. Synonym: nodus fibularis, fibular node, peroneal node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular margin of foot | The border of the foot between the small toe and the heel. Synonym: margo lateralis pedis, margo fibularis pedis, fibular margin of foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular node | A small inconstant lymph node located along the course of the peroneal vein. Synonym: nodus fibularis, fibular node, peroneal node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibular notch | A hollow on the lateral surface of the lower end of the tibia in which the fibula is lodged. Synonym: incisura fibularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
