If in dividing the soleus theknife be not kept towards the tibia, a too extensive division of muscleresults, and the wound is unnecessarily deepened. If the section of this muscle is made too close to the tibia, it isvery easy to get the retractor beneath the flexor digitorum, and thesurgeon dissecting on beneath that muscle may find himself at theinterosseous membrane. The soleus at the point of section is-—in afairly developed subject—somewhat thicker than the little finger. The Peroneal with
