The response was more sudden than normal, and there was an increase in faradic and galvanic excitability in the tibialis anticus.
It was now determined to section the tendo Achilles and the tibialis posticus.
The tendon of the tibialis anticus is very prominent.
Flexion and extension of the toes were likewise difficult, and when the toes were stretched there was a distinct contraction of the tibialis anticus.
It is covered by the common extensor of the toes and the tibialis anticus, and passes, accompanied by the tendon of this latter muscle, to terminate on the second metatarsal, or the phalanx, which articulates with it.
It is accordingly in the carnivora that the mode of termination of the tibialis posticus most nearly resembles that of this same muscle in the human species.
It is in relation superiorly with the tibialis anticus, and inferiorly with the common extensor of the toes; in the ox, it is in contact with this latter muscle throughout its whole length.
In the dog and the cat this muscle is to be seen in the space limited behind by the peroneus longus and in front by the tibialis anticus.
In the ox the same two portions of the tibialis anticus exist, but with this capital difference--that the anterior portion is fleshy, superficial, and blended for a great part of its length with the common extensor of the toes.
In the pig, the tibialis anticus presents an arrangement nearly similar to that which we have just described.
In the other animals with which we here occupy ourselves, the tibialis anticus presents a complexity which would be incomprehensible unless this muscle be first studied in the horse.
At the ankle it affects the peronei, the extensor digitorum longus, or the tibialis anterior.
Similarly the tibialis posterior may be displaced over the medial malleolus as a result of inversion of the foot.
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.
Internal to the skin is the fleshy mass made by the tibialis anticus and extensor longus digitorum muscles.
The tibialis anticus lies along the outer side of the tibia, from which, and from the head of the fibula and interosseous ligament, it arises tendinous and fleshy.
In the middle of the leg, the vessel passes between the extensor longus pollicis, and the tibialis anticus muscles.
In the upper third of the leg, the anterior tibial artery lies deeply situated between the tibialis anticus, and flexor communis muscles.
Here it will be found, close in front of the interosseous ligament, at about an inch and-a-half in depth from the anterior surface, and removed from the spine of the tibia at an interval equal to the width of the tibialis anticus muscle.
The tendon sheaths, especially those of the peronei and of the tibialis posterior, are liable to be infected by the spread of infective disease from the joint.
Jones displaces the tibialis anterior into the base of the fifth metatarsal.
The flexors of the toes, the tibialis posterior, and the peroneus longus are shortened to a less degree.
The calf muscles are paralysed while the peronei retain their power, and, along with the tibialis anterior and the extensors of the toes, become secondarily contracted.
If tendon transplantation is indicated, the tendon of the tibialis anterior is attached to the cuboid, and a strip of the tendo Achillis to the dorsal aspect of the tarsus.
The soft parts to be divided are the tendo Achillis, the medial and posterior ligaments of the ankle, the plantar fascia, the calcaneo-navicular ligaments, and the tibialis posterior tendon.
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.
The incision is then curved across the sole of the foot, and terminates on the inner side of the tendon of the tibialis anticus, about an inch in front of the inner malleolus.
The surgeon will penetrate the last the most easily, particularly by taking for his guide the eminence which indicates the attachment of the tibialis anticus muscle to the inside of the os naviculare.
Tibialis anticus may in like manner be divided either just above the ankle, or at its insertion.
Now carefully dissect the tendons of the tibialis posticus and flexor communis digitorum from behind the internal malleolus.
The quadriceps group of muscles is assisted by the anterior digital extensor (extensor pedis) peroneus tertius and tibialis anticus (flexor metatarsi) muscles.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "tibialis" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
