[5] It passes obliquely forward and lateralward, superficial to the deltoid ligament of the ankle-joint, into the sole of the foot, where it crosses over the tendon of the flexor hallucis longus at the level of the navicular bone at a location known as the knot of henry[6] (also referred to as plantar tendinous chiasm),[2][3][4] and receives from it a strong tendinous slip.Flexor accessorius longus digitorum, not infrequent, origin from fibula, or tibia, or the deep fascia and ending in a tendon which, after passing beneath the laciniate ligament, joins the tendon of the long flexor or the quadratus plantæ.The flexor digitorum longus muscle is responsible for the movement and curling of the second, third, fourth and fifth toes.After passing through the tarsal tunnel, the flexor digitorum longus tendon must curve around a bony landmark called the sustentaculum tali.Support braces along with warm compresses are the preferred manner of treating flexor digitorum longus pain or strain.
