RESUMEN
Los músculos gastronecmio, plantar y sóleo pertenecen al grupo de músculos flexores del compartimiento posterior de la pierna. El músculo plantar es reponsable de la flexión plantar del pie. El músculo es un vestigio en el humano y tiene gran importancia clínica. Se sabe que el músculo plantar tiene muchas variaciones, pero hay pocos repórters sobre la existencia de músculos plantares dobles. El presente trabajo describe un músculo plantar doble en ambos lados, presente en un cadáver, encontrado durante una disección de rutina. El conocimiento del músculo plantar, ya sea normal como de sus variaciones anatómicas, son importantes para el cirujano cuando éste transfiere tendones y para el clínico en el diagnóstico de ruptura muscular.
ABSTRACT
The gastrocnemius, plantaris and the soleus muscles, comprise the posterior (flexor) compartment muscles of the leg. The plantaris muscle is responsible for causing plantar flexion of the foot. The muscle is vestigial in human beings and has much clinical importance. The muscle is known to exhibit variations but there are few reports on the existence of double plantaris muscle. The present case report describes double plantaris on both sides of a cadaver, which was detected during routine dissection. Knowledge of both normal and abnormal anatomy of the plantaris muscle is important for surgeons performing tendon transfer operations and clinicians diagnosing muscle tears.
