Fibularis Tertius Muscle: Cadaveric Study in Indians
Introduction: Fibularis tertius muscle (FTM) is a small, unipennate muscle of the anterior compartment of the leg which is peculiar to human [1]. Usually FTM is considered as a part of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle which arises Background: Fibularis tertius is a small, unipennate muscle of the anterior compartment of the leg which is peculiar to human.

متن کاملA prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors among a rural Yoruba south-western Nigerian population: a population-based survey
BACKGROUND It has been hypothesised that rural sub-Saharan Africa is at an early stage of epidemiological transition from communicable to non-communicable diseases (NCD). Limited information exists about the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors and the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the adult Nigerian population, especially in the rural setting. OBJECTIVES The aim of this stu...
متن کاملThe Fibularis (Peroneus) Tertius Muscle in Humans: A Meta-Analysis of Anatomical Studies with Clinical and Evolutionary Implications
Being considered an exclusive human structure for a long time, fibularis tertius (FT) is believed to have a secondary function of foot dorsiflexion and eversion. This study is an attempt to approach the issue from an anatomical perspective. A systematic literature search identified 35 studies (7601 legs) which met the inclusion criteria. The weighted results of FT presence were as follows: an "...
متن کاملA cadaveric report of unilateral fibularis tertius in absentia: a clinical perspective
Introduction Fibularis tertius (FT), formerly known as peroneus tertius is a unique muscle in human being, often considered as a fifth tendon of extensor digitorum longus. The muscle originates from the distal one third or medial fibular surface, anterior surface of the interosseous membrane and anterior crural intermuscular septum. Thereafter, the tendon runs beneath the superior extensor reti...
