The fibularis brevis and fibularis longus muscles belong to the lateral compartment of the leg. The fibularis brevis is morphologically variable, especially in the number of tendons and place of insertion. Its type of insertion is correlated with the presence of a fibularis digiti quinti, which is also anatomically variable. We present a case study based on dissection of a seventy-three-year-old female cadaver with an unusual insertion of the fibularis brevis muscle. The tendon had three bands inserting into the fifth metatarsal bone. There was a coexisting fibularis digiti quinti, which was fused with the fibularis tertius muscle. Awareness of such anatomical variation could be useful during reconstructive surgery and planning rehabilitation protocols.
腓骨短肌和腓骨长肌属于小腿的外侧间隔。腓骨短肌在形态上变化较大，尤其是在肌腱数量和插入位置上。其插入方式与第五趾腓骨的存在有关，而第五趾腓骨在解剖学上也存在变化。我们报告了一个基于对一具 73 岁女性尸体进行解剖的案例研究，该尸体的腓骨短肌插入方式异常。该肌腱有三个带插入第五跖骨。同时存在的第五趾腓骨与腓骨第三肌融合。在重建手术和制定康复方案时，了解这种解剖变异可能会很有用。
