The lateral compartment is made up of two muscles namely: peroneus longus and peroneus brevis. These muscles assist in the eversion of the foot and also provide for weak plantar flexion of the foot at the ankle joint. The innervation of these muscles is provided by the superficial branch of the common peroneal nerve. The blood supply of this compartment is provided by branches of the common peroneal artery. The tendons of the two muscles transcend deep to the extensor retinaculum and pass posteriorly to the lateral maleolus of the fibula.
