What is another word for peroneus?
Pronunciation: [pˈɛɹə͡ʊnɪəs] (IPA) 
Peroneus, also known as fibularis, is a term used to describe two muscles located in the lower leg. These muscles work together to help flex and stabilize the ankle joint. Other synonyms for peroneus include lateral calf muscle, lateral leg muscle, and lateral fibular muscle. The peroneus muscles are essential for maintaining balance and providing stability to the ankle joint. They are commonly used in athletic activities that require lateral movements, such as basketball and soccer. These muscles can become injured through repetitive use, leading to conditions like peroneal tendinitis and peroneal neuropathy. Maintaining strength and flexibility in the peroneus muscles is vital for overall lower limb health and injury prevention.
