Figure 1. Medial view, transverse plane. TP: tibialis posterior tendon, FDL: flexor digitorum longus tendon, FHL: flexor hallucis longus tendon, A: posterior tibial artery, V: posterior tibial veins, T: tibial nerve
Transverse ultrasound section of the medial aspect of the ankle in the tarsal tunnel region. The medial malleolus is shown as the main bony landmark, behind which the tendons of tibialis posterior (TP), flexor digitorum longus (FDL), and flexor hallucis longus (FHL) are visible, arranged in typical sequence in the area behind the medial malleolus. Between the FDL and FHL tendons, the neurovascular bundle is located, consisting of the posterior tibial artery (A), accompanying veins (V), and tibial nerve (T). This projection is essential for evaluating tendon tenosynovitis, tarsal tunnel pathology, and potential compression of the tibial nerve or other neurovascular structures.
