It is NOT the gastrocnemius, soleus, or Achilles …. What could it Be? A plantaris muscle injury.
The plantaris muscle originates from the lateral supracondylar line of the femur in the posterior of the knee and courses distally in an inferomedial direction near the medial head of the gastrocnemius and along themedial border of the Achilles tendon. The tendon of the plantaris muscle either inserts with the Achilles tendon or can have its own independent insertion on the calcaneus (4). The m...
متن کاملBicipital origin of plantaris muscle – a case report
Superficial flexors gastrocnemius, plantaris and soleus form the bulk of the calf. The small plantaris muscle is the lower limb equivalent of palmaris longus. It arises from the lower part of the lateral supracondylar line and the oblique popliteal ligament. Its fusiform belly is 7 to 10 cm long and ends in a long slender tendon which crosses obliquely between gastrocnemius and soleus, runs dis...
متن کاملThe nerves to the plantaris muscle and a bipennate part of the soleus muscle.
We performed nerve fiber analysis of the nerve to the plantaris muscle in ten cases. Macroscopically, the nerve to the plantaris muscle has a tendency to branch off from the tibial nerve itself independent of the nerves to the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (the triceps surae muscle). After removing the epineurium of the tibial nerve, it was revealed that, in all ten cases, the nerve to the p...
متن کاملThe plantaris muscle: anatomy, injury, imaging, and treatment.
The plantaris muscle is often dismissed as a small, vestigial muscle, however an injury to this structure should actually be included in differential considerations of the painful calf. Injury to the plantaris on its own, or in association with concurrent injuries of the knee can present a diagnostic challenge to the manual practitioner. This review discusses the diagnosis, imaging, and evidenc...
متن کاملAdditional Tendinous Origin and Entrapment of the Plantaris Muscle
The human plantaris muscle (PM) is a small, spindleshaped muscle that originates from the femur just above the lateral condyle and the adjacent posterior ligament of the articular capsule, in close association with the lateral head of the gastrocnemius. Its proximal region varies from a thin fibrous structure to a muscle belly, equal in size to the lateral head of the gastrocnemius. Ordinarily ...
