The superior peroneal retinaculum inserts at the lateral malleolus and extends to the lateral aspect of the calcaneus and the deep fascia of the leg .
The inferior peroneal retinaculum is a continuation of the inferior extensor retinaculum of the foot, extending posteriorly and laterally to attach to the lateral aspect of the calcaneus .
