The anterior muscles are a group of extensors at the lower leg. They lie within the anterior compartment located at the ventrolateral region of the lower leg where they form its surface structure. The peroneal muscles are a group of two muscles at the lower leg. They lie within the peroneal compartment located at the lateral fibular region.

The anterior and lateral muscles of the leg can be further divided into two groups. The first group is the anterior extensor group which consists of the tibialis anterior, the extensor digitorum longus muscle, the extensor hallucis longus, and the peroneus tertius.

The other group is known as the lateral fibularis or peroneus group (keep in mind that fibularis and peroneus basically mean the same thing and are often used interchangeably). For this group, we only need to remember two muscles, and these are the fibularis longus and the fibularis brevis.
