Morphological study of plantaris muscle in cadavers and its clinical significance
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Plantaris muscle though a vestigial muscle and absent in 10 of cases still has a diagnostic and clinical importance eg of its being an isolated cause of tennis leg This study was done on 50 lower limbs of 25 adult cadavers for morphology and prevalence of plantaris muscle in our region We have observed absence of plantaris muscle in about 26 of limbs and both belly and tendon of the plantaris muscle had a wide variation in its length and width In two of the limbs double head of origin of muscle was seenKeywords Double Head Plantaris Vestigial
