Abstract

|
The muscles of the sole have been traditionally categorized into four layers, but it is more practical to divide theminto peripheral and central groups. The peripheral groups include medial and lateral groups. The central plantar musclesare more numerous and divided into superficial and deep layers. During routine dissection in the Department of Anatomy,All India Institute of Medical Sciences Bibinagar, Hyderabad, variations are been observed in the plantar intrinsic musclein the left foot & right foot of a 53-year-old male cadaver. This is the first cadaveric report of a combination of discrepanciesespecially the inter-tendinous connection between quadratus plantae and f lexor digitorum brevis. Similar observations in theliterature were not found by us. It is important to identify and study these dissimilarities of muscles of the sole for surgeons,anatomists, radiologists and orthopaedics as these muscles and tendons are used in foot reconstructive procedures, and forthe treatment of some congenital anomalies.
