“…The patient was asymptomatic and able to resume activities of daily living 1 week postoperatively. 71 Additionally, in a study evaluating the surgical technique and outcomes of all-inside arthroscopic treatment of FHL tendon impingement syndrome, Feng and colleagues 21 found meaningful advantages. These included small surgical trauma, fast functional recovery, and reliable outcomes with an average AOFAS score increase to 97 postoperatively (with all cases rated excellent or good).…”

“…The flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle originates from the posterior aspect of the fibula. The tendon of FHL continues through the tarsal tunnel, passing inferiorly to the medial malleolus of the tibia to insert at the distal phalanx of the great toe [ 1 ]. The FHL functions to flex the great toe and plantarflex the foot.…”

Interindividual variability presents a rich field of study in medical sciences. During a cadaveric dissection at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, a rare anatomical variation was discovered in the pedal anatomy of a female cadaver. Medical students, while dissecting the sole of the foot, identified a variant tendinous structure. This aberrant tendinous slip from the flexor hallucis longus (FHL) extended to the lateral four tendons of flexor digitorum longus (FDL) along the plantar aspect of the foot. The discovery suggested that the FHL shares a functional relationship with the FDL. Application of tension to the FHL was found to result in simultaneous flexion motion in the lesser toes, from the second to the fifth digit. The presence of this anatomical variant holds considerable importance for surgical interventions, especially as a potential graft source in tendon reconstructions, warranting its documentation in this report.
