The soleal line, also known as the popliteal line (in older texts), is a prominent ridge on the posterior surface of the tibia. It is the site of many muscle origins and insertions, such as those of popliteus muscle, soleus muscle, flexor digitorum longus muscle, and tibialis posterior muscle.

The soleal line is a diagonal bony ridge that is located in the upper portion of the posterior surface of tibia. It is oriented downward and medially. Above the soleal line, the triangular region of the posterior surface of tibia serves as the point of origin for the popliteus muscle.

2020年12月13日 · The soleal line is an oblique line visible on the posterior surface of the tibia. The popliteus muscle inserts above the soleal line. Three other muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg take their origin, or part of their origin from the soleal line:

2023年9月19日 · The soleus muscle arises from the soleal line on the dorsal surface of the tibia, medial border of the tibia, head of the fibula, and posterior border of the fibula. Part of the fibers arises from the tendinous arch of the soleus, which spans between the tibia and fibula and arches over the popliteal vessels and tibial nerve.

The soleal (popliteal) line is the rough ridge found on the proximal half of the posterior surface of tibia. It extends inferomedially from the fibular articular facet to the medial border of tibia. It provides an origin site for the soleus muscle, and an attachment site for the transverse intermuscular septum of leg.

2020年6月30日 · Posterior surface – marked by a ridge of bone known as soleal line. This line is the site of origin for part of the soleus muscle, and extends inferomedially, eventually blending with the medial border of the tibia.

2023年11月3日 · The posterior surface is bound by the interosseous and medial margins and features the soleal line crossing this surface diagonally. Of the three borders, the anterior border is the most prominent. It can be seen as a distinct margin that begins at the tibial tuberosity and descends all the way to the distal part of the bone.

The soleal line is a bony ridge found on the posterior surface of the tibia in the lower leg. It serves as an attachment point for the soleus muscle, which is crucial for standing and walking.

so·le·al line [TA] a ridge that extends obliquely downward and medially across the back of the tibia from the fibular articular facet; it gives origin to the soleus muscle.

The soleal line is an obliquely oriented ridge that courses distally from the back of the lateral condyle to the posterior medial side of the shaft. This rough ridge of bone is the attachment site for the soleus muscle.
