Muscles
The muscles of the compartment are[1]
- tibialis anterior
- extensor hallucis longus
- extensor digitorum longus
- fibularis tertius (peroneus tertius)
Action
The muslces of the compartment are dorsiflexors of foot. [2]
Nerve supply
The anterior compartment of the leg is supplied by the deep fibular nerve (deep peroneal nerve).
Blood supply
The compartment of the leg is supplied by anterior tibial artery.[1]
The structures of anterior compartment can be remembered using the mnemonic, "TEA DEPt" for Tibialis anterior, Extensor hallucis longus, Anterior tibial artery, Deep peroneal nerve, Extensor digitorum longus and Peroneus tertius.[1]
