Anatomy of flexor hallucis longus (FHL) is essential for the achievement of tendon transfer and several procedures performed in the foot and ankle. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anatomical knowledge of FHL including the type and location of musculotendinous junction (MTJ), tendinous interconnections (TIC) morphology, its location related to Master Knot of Henry (MKH), and the pattern of TIC distribution.
