“…Waśniewska et al (1) determined this length as 15.9±2.7 mm in fetal cadavers with gestational weeks between 18 and 38 weeks. While our data obtained from our study were found to be compatible with Yıldız et al(23), it is lower than the data obtained from Desdicioğlu et al(35). The reason for this was thought to be due to the low number of full-term fetal cadavers in our study.…”

“…In the literature, absence of plantaris are expressed in a spectrum varying between 4-20% in adults. Regarding plantaris in fetal cadavers, the absence of this muscle has been shown to range from 9.5% to 31.4% (1,(33)(34)(35).…”

“…The reason for this was thought to be due to the low number of full-term fetal cadavers in our study. The average of muscle belly width (WB) was found 6.0 mm by Desdicioğlu et al(35), 5.8 mm by Yıldız et al (23) and 5.7 mm by Waśniewska et al…”

Objective: The musculus plantaris (m.) is a muscle in the back of the leg that has a short abdomen and a long, thin tendon. It acts functionally with the gastrocnemius muscle. Since remowing the muscle does not cause a change in limb function, it is used as a potential source of grafts. It was aimed to investigate the morphological features and possible variations of PM in fetal cadavers. Methods: This study was carried out on the fetal cadaver collection of …….., Medical Faculty, Anatomy Department. 11 male and 9 female fetal cadavers (ages range: 28-40 weeks) were used. The muscle belly length (LB), width (WB) and thickness (TB) were measured. The PM insertion was classified into 4 types. Also, the distal part of the tendon was classified in the fan-shaped and flat-shaped. Results: It was determined that PM was present in 36 of 40(90%) lower extremities and absent in 4(10%). The average muscle belly length (LB), width (WB) and thickness (TB) was found 13.29±3.73mm, 4.72±1.77mm and 3.65±1.17mm, respectively. The most common insertion type was found Type 2 (67.5%) within setion to the calcaneal tuberosity on the anteromedially. The most common insertion type was observed as flat-shaped (77.5%). Conclusion: We believe that the data obtained from our study will be useful in procedures such as flexor tendinoplasties, reconstruction of hand tendons and lateral ankle ligaments, and repair of atrioventricular valves, which are planned to be performed in infancy and childhood.

Muscular anatomy often differs between species and individuals. In particular, the plantaris muscle (PM) demonstrates great morphological variability in its course and its proximal and distal attachments. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological variation of the PM tendon in human fetuses. Forty-six spontaneously aborted human fetuses (23 male, 23 female) aged 18–38 weeks of gestation were studied. Morphology of the attachment of the PM was assessed in both lower extremities (n = 92). The PM was present in 72 lower limbs (78.26%) and absent in 20 (21.74%). Eight types of PM distal attachment were identified. We propose an eight-fold classification of PM insertion in fetuses. Leg length, length of tendon, extension point (ExP) from the calcaneus, and ExP thickness differed significantly among types of PM insertion.
