Bicipital origin of plantaris muscle – a case report
نویسنده
چکیده
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 distally along the medial border of the calcaneal tendon and fuses or inserts with it [1]. Because of this long narrow tendon, it has been referred to as the freshman’s nerve. If it has origin from any two of the mentioned variations it is said to be bicipital [2].

Plantaris is the largest muscle in mammals other than primates. It runs alongside the gastrosoleus complex, and continues along the medial aspect of the Achilles tendon (AT) before inserting onto the greater tuberosity of the calcaneus. The plantaris muscle is vestigial in human beings and has much clinical importance. It is known to present several anatomical variations in terms of its occurre...

Introduction The plantaris muscle belongs to the posterior superficial crural muscles in the anatomy of human’s body, which are subdivided into two groups as superficial and deep. It is placed between the gastrocnemius and soleus. Its origin is from the inferior part of the lateral supracondylar line of the femur at a position a little superior to the origin of the lateral head of gastrocnemius...
