A member asked:
Are there any tendons in back of the leg below the knee besides the achilles tendon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The plantaris tendon and posterior tibialos tendon both arise from posterior muscles of the leg and connect to the foot. The Achilles' tendon is the largest of the posterior tendons.
