A member asked:
Can a blood vessel become entrapped btw spasming flexor hallucis longus and other muscles of the deep posterior compartment?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I imagine it is: Possible but the blood vessels lie deep to the deep posterior compartment essentially next to the syndesmotic membrane. If a blood vessel did become entrapped it would be a minor one.
