Foot Tendons & Ligaments
Quick Answer: Major foot tendons: Achilles (largest, back of heel), posterior tibial (inner arch), peroneals (outer ankle), tibialis anterior (front), flexors/extensors (toes). Plantar fascia is technically aponeurosis — connects heel to forefoot.
Why It Matters
Each tendon has different injury patterns. Knowing where pain is helps narrow diagnosis quickly.
FAQ
