ABSTRACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Background<\/strong>: Plantaris is small fusiform muscle, with its long, slender tendon. Actually it\u2019s a vestigial muscle in human beings hence its rupture does not result in any significant loss of function. Muscle tear associated with bleeding and swelling leads to a posterior compartment syndrome. It can mimic other serious conditions like DVT, ruptured baker\u2019s cyst and calf neoplasms.<\/p>\n

The present study aims to find out the various patterns of proximal and distal attachment of plantaris muscle, which will help the clinician deciding in diagnosis and the plastic & orthopaedic surgeons for different types of reconstructive surgeries.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods: <\/strong>Forty-eight limbs from 24 embalmed cadavers of known sex(male) & age (40-75 years) were dissected in the department of anatomy of Lady Harding medical college, New Delhi during 2016-2017. Plantaris muscle identified with its proximal and distal attachment. Length of muscle belly & tendon were recorded.<\/p>\n

Result: <\/strong>In the present study out of 48 limbs specimens, Plantaris muscle was absent in 12.5%. Its proximal attachment to lateral supracondylar ridges observed in 29% & with lateral head of gastrocnemius muscle & fibrous capsule in 58.3%. Its distal attachment deep to tendocalcaneus was noted in 25% and superficial to tendocalcaneus in 62.4%. Length of muscle belly was 7- 9 cm in 37% and tendon length was 34- 36cm in 37.5%.<\/p>\n

Conclusion: <\/strong>The Morphological aspects of the attachment of plantaris play a significant role in the Pathologies associated with Calf & knee region. Their exact attachment is importance for reconstructive surgeries to the repair of ankle joint injury and flexor tendon replacement in hand.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong> Plantaris Muscle, Morphology, Fusiform muscle.<\/p>\n
