The fibularis brevis muscle belongs to the lateral compartment of the leg. It originates from the lower two-thirds of the lateral surface of the fibula bone and it also is attached to the anterior intermuscular septum. Its insertion is normally located on the tuberosity at the base of the fifth metatarsal bone, on its lateral side. However, distal attachment of this muscle is morphologically variable. Different variations have been identified and some classification systems have been created for both adults and foetuses. Based on various literature references, we have created a new classification system and compared the frequency of each type. The main aim of this review is to present morphological variations of the fibularis brevis tendon with their clinical significance, especially in autografting in case of surgical treatment of fibularis brevis tendon rupture. The clinical aspect of this pathology and some medical cases will also be presented.

腓骨短肌腱 – 系统概述和新分类系统

腓骨短肌属于腿的外侧室。它起源于腓骨外侧表面的下三分之二，并且还附着于前肌间隔。它的插入点通常位于第五跖骨基部的结节上，位于其外侧。然而，该肌肉的远端附着在形态上是可变的。已经确定了不同的变异，并为成人和胎儿创建了一些分类系统。基于各种文献参考，我们创建了一个新的分类系统，并比较了每种类型的频率。本综述的主要目的是介绍腓骨短肌腱的形态变化及其临床意义，特别是在腓骨短肌腱断裂手术治疗的自体移植中。还将介绍这种病理学的临床方面和一些医疗案例。
