In vivo ultrasonographic evidence that tensed calcaneofibular ligament consistently lifts the peroneal tendons

Abstract A recent cadaveric study demonstrated that when the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) is tensed, it lifts the peroneal tendons, suggesting that the CFL acts as a mechanical tensioner to facilitate efficient transmission of peroneal muscle contractions. We investigated this phenomenon in vivo u...
