Peroneus muscles

Peroneus muscles

The fibularis muscles (also peronæus) are a group of three muscles fibularis (peronæus) longus, brevis, and tertius originating on the fibula and inserting on the metatarsals.

The "longus" and "brevis" are much more similar to each other than they are to the "tertius", as shown in the table below.
