Supernumerary peronei in the leg musculature- utility for reconstruction.

چکیده
Muscular variations in the lower extremity are frequently encountered when performing cadaveric dissections. The utility of supernumerary muscles assumes importance in reparative foot surgery. The purpose of the current case study is to report the unilateral presence of double peroneal muscles in the evertors of the foot. The peroneal compartment of an adult Indian male cadaver was dissected during a demonstration class for medical undergraduates. Two bellies of the peroneal longus and brevis muscles were observed. The peroneus longus split into two bellies, superficial and deep, while the brevis displayed superficial/lateral and deep/medial bellies. These additional bellies gained attachment to the lateral calcaneal surface. Disorders of the peroneal tendons provide a basis for lateral ankle pain and instability. Anatomical variants have been associated with lateral ankle diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging can demonstrate these soft tissue variants, and detailed information on the anatomy of the crural region enables a surgeon to plan an operation. This study shows duplication of the peroneal muscle, which may have an impact on reconstructive surgery.

Responsiveness of Static and Dynamic Postural Balance Measures in Patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Following Physiotherapy Intervention
Background:The main goal of physiotherapy for patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) is to improve postural control and retain knee function. Therefore, clinicians need to use evaluative tools that assess postural changes during physiotherapy. To maximize the clinical utility of the results of these tools, the extracted measures should have appropriate psychometric prop...
متن کاملPerforator Flaps for Reconstruction of Lower Limb Defects
BACKGROUND Reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the lower third of the leg remains challenging. Anatomical constraints limit the local options available for complex defects especially lower third of leg. Local flaps based on perforator vessels are raising interest in reconstructive surgery of the limbs. We present our experience with perforator flaps for reconstruction of soft tissue def...

Background: The standard methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the leg include gastrocnemius flap for proximal third defects, soleus flap for middle third and free flap in the distal third. However, there are problems with the use of free flap, like increased operative time, damage of major vessels and the need for experienced microsurgeon. Mathods: This prospective study was und...
