Abstract
The fibularis brevis muscle belongs to the lateral compartment of the leg. It originates from the lower two-thirds of the lateral surface of the fibula bone and it also is attached to the anterior intermuscular septum. Its insertion is normally located on the tuberosity at the base of the fifth metatarsal bone, on its lateral side. However, distal attachment of this muscle is morphologically variable. Different variations have been identified and some classification systems have been created for both adults and foetuses. Based on various literature references, we have created a new classification system and compared the frequency of each type. The main aim of this review is to present morphological variations of the fibularis brevis tendon with their clinical significance, especially in autografting in case of surgical treatment of fibularis brevis tendon rupture. The clinical aspect of this pathology and some medical cases will also be presented.
