Morphological variability of the fibularis longus and brevis muscles on magnetic resonance imaging

The most important finding was that MRI reliably detects the morphological and positional variability of the fibularis tendons. These findings validate cadaveric classifications, highlight population-specific patterns, and emphasize the clinical importance of distinguishing normal variants from pathology in ankle imaging.

Abstract

The most important finding was that MRI reliably detects the morphological and positional variability of the fibularis tendons. These findings validate cadaveric classifications, highlight population-specific patterns, and emphasize the clinical importance of distinguishing normal variants from pathology in ankle imaging.
