Magnetic resonance imaging offers the best visualization of the accessory muscles; however, they can also be detected on radiography, ultrasonography, and computed tomography. Their accurate identification facilitates appropriate management of the rare symptomatic cases, mostly caused by accessory muscles in the posteromedial compartment. Symptomatic patients present with chronic ankle pain, most commonly as tarsal tunnel syndrome. The most frequently observed accessory muscle around the ankle is the peroneus tertius muscle, an accessory muscle in the anterior compartment. The tibiocalcaneus internus and peroneocalcaneus internus are uncommon; anterior fibulocalcaneus is rarely mentioned. We describe the anatomy of the accessory muscles with their anatomical relations accompanied by schematic drawings and radiologic images from clinical practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1762594","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,3]],"date-time":"2023-04-03T22:32:15Z","timestamp":1680561135000},"page":"206-213","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Imaging of Tendinous and Muscular Anatomical Variants Around the Ankle"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Tja\u0161a","family":"Toma\u017ein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Radiology Institute, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Domen","family":"Plut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Radiology Institute, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine - Department of Radiology, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6864-8880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u017diga","family":"Snoj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Radiology Institute, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine - Department of Radiology, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"01","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1186\/s13244-019-0746-2","article-title":"Anatomical variation in the ankle and foot: from incidental finding to inductor of pathology.
