Anatomical compartments of the sole of the human foot

Abstract: Suppurations of the foot are not uncommon especially in bare foot people. The foot is liable to neuropathic as well as ischemic affections which predispose to infections as in diabetes, arteriosclerosis, cases of spina bifida and tabetic patients. As the literature is scanty in describing the fascial compartments of the foot we attempted to make a brief description of these compartments for we have found some differences from those cited in the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODSFive adult human feet from 5 cadav… Show more

“…Although compartment syndrome has been well described in a variety of anatomic locations, the compartments of the foot have proven to be a contentious anatomic entity. From Grodinsky's (1929) classic description of four foot anatomic compartments, to Manoli and Weber's (1990) more recent description of nine foot compartments, the foot has been described as having three (Kamel and Sakla, 1961;Goldman et al, 1990;Smith, 1990;Ledermann et al, 2002), four (Wood-Jones, 1949;Myerson, 1988Myerson, , 1990Starosta et al, 1988;Shereff, 1990;Lower and Kenzora, 1994;Lee et al, 1995;Rauwerda, 2000), five (Loeffler and Ballard, 1980;Adelaar, 2001), eight (Ascer et al, 1989;Sarrafian, 1990;Guyton et al, 2001), or nine (Manoli and Weber, 1990;Myerson and Manoli, 1993;Silas et al, 1995;Botte et al, 1996;Bibbo et al, 2000;Perry and Manoli, 2001;Stiegelmar et al, 2001;Fulkerson et al, 2003) fascial compartments. A review of the literature also suggests a tenth potential compartment: the skin.…”

“…A certain delimitation between the quadratus plantae muscle and the flexor digitorum brevis by horizontal septae and gliding spaces has been described by many authors (5,6,12). Others (11,16,17,27) find no connecting tissue delimitation for the quadratus plantae muscle within the intermediary compartments and describe only an arrangement of the musculature in different layers. The quadratus plantae muscle was always strictly limited to the hindfoot with its insertion onto the tendon of the flexor digitorum longus muscle constantly on the level of the Lisfranc-articulation-line.…”

“…Thus, further studies are necessary to describe long-term outcome in which data of validated outcome measures should be performed. Third, since few studies deal with anatomical structures [33,46,68], the number of foot compartments stated in the literature is still debatable and ranges from three to 10 compartments [33,42,74]. Fourth, the literature on foot compartment syndrome are limited to small case series with a maximum of 14 patients [69].…”
