The space in front of the medial ankle is bounded by '''''the retinaculum musculorum extensorum superius et inferius''''' (ventrally) and the '''''malleolus medialis''''' (dorsally). ''[[Vessels of the lower limb|The saphenous vein]]'' and ''the saphenous'' nerve run superficially through both retinacula , and the tendon ''of the [[Musculus tibialis anterior|tibialis anterior]]'' '''muscle''' runs deep below the retinacula.

For easy memorization, the mnemonic tool '''SAMANTA''' is used - vena '''SA''' phena '''M''' agna, '''N''' ervus saphenus, tendon musculus '''T''' ibialis '''A''' nterior.
