Structure | Location/Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
fascia, crural | deep fascia forming a tubular investment of the leg | crural fascia is continuous with fascia lata at the knee; it is connected to the fibula by anterior and posterior intermuscular septa; it is thickened near the ankle to form extensor and flexor retinacula |
fascia, gluteal | deep fascia covering the gluteus medius m. and the gluteus maximus m. | also known as: gluteal aponeurosis |
fascia lata | deep fascia forming a tubular investment of the thigh | fascia lata is thickened along the lateral intermuscular septum of the thigh where it is called the iliotibial tract/band; fascia lata is connected to the femur by the lateral and medial intermuscular septa; scarpa's fascia attaches to fascia lata below the inguinal ligament |
fascia, pedal | deep fascia forming the investment of the foot | pedal fascia is thin superiorly and thick over the sole, where it is called plantar fascia |
fascia, plantar | fascia of the sole of the foot | plantar fascia is thickened over the central part of the sole to form the plantar aponeurosi |
fascia, popliteal | deep fascia forming a roof over the popliteal fossa | the most superficial content of the popliteal fossa is the tibial nerve, which lies immediately deep to the popliteal fascia |
