This vessel is related on its tibial side to the tibialis anticus, and on its fibular, to the extensor longus digitorum above, and the extensor pollicis below.
It should be as nearly as possible on a level with the upper border of the os calcis, a point which the surgeon can determine, if the dorsum of the foot is in a natural state, by feeling the pit in which the extensor brevis digitorum arises.
Now carefully dissect the tendons of the tibialis posticus and flexor communis digitorum from behind the internal malleolus.
The extensor communis digitorum lies close to the outer side of the anterior tibial muscle, and arises from the upper three-fourths of the fibula, from the interosseous ligament and intermuscular septum.

The tendon of the flexor longus communis digitorum muscle.
The tendon of the flexor digitorumlongus cut; f f f, its digital ends.
The tendon of the flexor longus digitorum muscle, subdividing into f f f f, tendons for the four outer toes.
The plantar fascia and flexor brevis digitorum muscle cut; b b b, its tendons.
In the centre will be seen the thick fleshy flexor digitorum brevis muscle, B, arising from the inferior part of the os calcis, and passing forwards to divide into four small tendons, b b b b, for the four outer toes.
Codman and Chase recommend excision of the proximal half of the fractured bone, through a dorsal incision to the lateral side of the extensor digitorum communis.
In paralysis of the calf muscles alone, the tendons of the peronei or flexordigitorum longus may be divided and stitched to the calcaneus, to take the place of the tendo Achillis.
The flexor longus digitorum has a tendency to cause a bending of the small toes, and as it also runs across the foot it pulls the toes somewhat inward, that is, toward the big toe.
The pressure upon the tendons of the flexor longus digitorum pedis causes the smaller toes to bend somewhat, and this gives rise to projecting angular points on which corns readily form.
At the ankle it affects the peronei, the extensor digitorum longus, or the tibialis anterior.
When it is injured at or above the elbow, there is paralysis of the flexor carpi ulnaris, the ulnar half of the flexor digitorum profundus, all the interossei, the two medial lumbricals, and the adductors of the thumb.
One of the fasciculi of the flexor sublimis digitorum muscle, (the rest of the muscle is seen beneath the tendons of the pintails longus.
At the level of the ankle-joint the tibialis posticus and flexor longus digitorum tendons lie just behind the internal malleolus, while the peroneus longus and brevis are behind the external.
On the dorsum of the hand there is a plexus of veins, and deep to these the tendons of the extensor longus digitorum stand out when the wrist and fingers are extended.
Internal to the skin is the fleshy mass made by the tibialis anticus and extensor longus digitorum muscles.
On the anterior side of the tibia, is the intercondylar sulcus, which is crossed by an oblique bridge of tendon or bone, acting as a pulley for the tendon of the extensor digitorum communis muscle.
II and flexor digitorum longus emerge from the distal end of the tendon of M.
III and flexor digitorum longus; after sending a dorsal slip (lateral to the tendon of M.
II and flexor digitorum longus; at the level of the first phalanx, the edges of the tendon extend dorsally around the tendon of M.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "digitorum" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
