The soleus is elevated/released from the posterior tibia during the medial approach to allow access to the deep posterior compartment. Release of this compartment cannot be done without proper elevation of the soleus. The superficial posterior compartment mass is primarily located in the proximal half of the leg, while the deep posterior musculature is located in the distal 2/3 of the leg. Illustration A depicts the musculature and septums compartmentalizing the lower leg. The transverse intermuscular septum separates the deep from the superficial posterior compartments.
