Aim: The purpose of the study was to characterize the morphology of the tibialis posterior muscle, and to determine the relationship of the muscle with the flexor digitorum longus tendon when planning surgical procedures in the region. Material and Methods: The study was carried out by performing tibialis posterior muscle dissection in 30 lower (40-65 age range, 18 males/12 females) extremities. In the study, muscle and tendon sizes, tendon diameter, distances to reference points, origin and insertion regions were measured for length, and morphological description of the attachment area. Results: It was found that the tendon diameter was 13x5 mm at the insertion, 9x4 mm at the end of muscle fibers, and 10.4x4.4 mm at the medial malleolus level. As a result of the dissections, it was determined that the tibialis posterior tendon crossed with the flexor digitorum longus tendon approximately 75.0 & PLUSMN;21.0 mm proximal to the lower end of the medial malleolus. Discussion: We hold the belief that our cadaver study will guide clinicians.
