Flexor Retinaculum of Foot
By: Tim Barclay, PhD
Medically reviewed by: Stephanie Curreli, MD, PhD
Last Updated: Jun 25, 2015
The flexor retinaculum of the foot runs (posteriorly, on the inside) between the medial malleolus (network of nerve tissues and muscle around the ankle) and the calcaneus (Achilles tendon) and forms sheaths for tendons passing beneath the foot. There is a corresponding flexor retinaculum in the wrist and palm of the hand.
