Description
The fibularis tertius muscle is a small, flat muscle located in the lateral compartment of the leg. It extends from the lateral aspect of the tibia to the dorsal aspect of the foot. 

The main function of the fibularis tertius muscle is to dorsiflex and invert the foot. It also helps to stabilize the ankle joint and maintain the position of the foot in space.

The fibularis tertius muscle is commonly used in activities that require dorsiflexion and inversion of the foot, such as walking or running. It is also used in activities that require stability and balance, such as standing on one foot or jumping.
