From: The tibialis posterior tendon footprint: an anatomical dissection study
Exemplary specimen before and after footprint dissection. Plantar view of an exemplary specimen. a) skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscles have been removed in order to dissect the TPT. The peroneus longus tendon is retracted medially to visualize the plantar tendon slips of the TPT. PBT = peroneus brevis tendon, PLT = peroneus longus tendon, TAT = tibialis anterior tendon, TPT = tibialis posterior tendon b) the TPT footprints were marked with green ink. In this specimen the TPT inserted at the navicular bone, the medial, intermediate and lateral cuneiform, the cuboid, the calcaneus, and the 2nd, 3rd and 5th metatarsal. c) schematic drawing of the bony TPT footprints, D = distal; M = medial; P = proximal; L = lateral
