Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tibialis posterior muscle does not insert via the calcaneal tendon; instead, it inserts into the navicular and several other tarsal and metatarsal bones. The calcaneal tendon, also known as the Achilles tendon, is primarily formed by the tendons of the gastrocnemius, soleus, and to a lesser extent, the plantaris muscles.
