The space in front of the medial ankle is bounded by the retinaculum musculorum extensorum superius et inferius (ventrally) and the malleolus medialis (dorsally). The saphenous vein and the saphenous nerve run superficially through both retinacula , and the tendon of the 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.
