The flexor hallucis longus runs along the medial aspect of the hindfoot, medial to the posterior facet and inferior to middle facet just under sustentaculum tali(constant fragment) This tendon can be injured with poor drilling technique or use of screws that are too long during reduction and fixation of a calcaneus fracture using a lateral plate. If present, the great toe will be in a fixed, flexed position from the tendon being tethered over a screw. Figure A shows a calcaneus fracture with a lateral plate and screws.
