Musculotendinous Junction of Soleus and its Clinical Correlation
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The achilles tendon is the strongest and thickest tendon in the body and is formed by gastrocnemius and soleus. The aim of this study was to study the distance between musculotendinous junction of soleus and the most proximal point of insertion on calcaneum. In the present study, the average distance between musculotendinous junction of soleus and the most proximal point of insertion was found to be 4.29cm.Interestingly in one case, we noted, that the muscle fibres of soleus were extending further down right uptill its insertion on the calcaneus. A detailed knowledge of distance from musculotendinous junction of soleus to its insertion on calcaneus is important for surgeons doing calcaneal tendon repair following rupture and also in reconstructive surgeries using soleus muscle flaps. Keywords: Achilles tendon, Musculotendinous junction, Soleus.
