Origin: Originates from the anterior aspect of the distal fibula. The stem of the Y-shaped retinaculum attaches to the upper surface of the lateral aspect of the calcaneus
Insertion: In front of the ankle-joint, the stem of the Y being attached laterally to the upper surface of the calcaneus, in front of the depression for the interosseous talocalcaneal The upper arm of the Y attaches to the medial malleolus, and the lower arm attaches to the medial side of the plantar aponeurosis
Innervation: The structure and its surrounding area are innervated by the deep fibular nerve and other nerves and vessels
Action: It stabilizes extensor tendons as they pass over the ankle joint
