“…Another sign is the diminution of the pulse of the distal arteries in the passive dorsoflexion of the ankle (2). Simple Doppler examination is valuable as an initial diagnostic evaluation (12). On dorsoflexion position of the ankle, sound of the posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis arteries will be disappeared.…”

The Co-existence of the Gastrocnemius Tertius and Accessory Soleus Muscles

A bilateral gastrocnemius tertius muscle and a unilateral accessory soleus muscle were encountered during the routine educational dissection studies. The right gastrocnemius tertius muscle consisted of one belly, but the left one of two bellies. On the left side, the superficial belly of the gastrocnemius tertius muscle had its origin from an area just above the tendon of the plantaris muscle, the deep belly from the tendon of the plantaris muscle. The accessory soleus muscle originated from the posteromedial aspect of the tibia and soleal line of the tibia and inserted to the medial surface of the calcaneus. On the right side, the gastrocnemius tertius muscle had its origin from the lateral condyle of the femur, and inserted to the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. The co-existence of both gastrocnemius tertius and accessory soleus muscle has not, to our knowledge, been previously reported.

“…Almost all published cases have been diagnosed late, by which time severe arterial damage has occurred. If diagnosis is made earlier, division of the medial head of gastrocnemius muscle may be sufficient (Miles et al, 1977).…”

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome

et al. 1990

Popliteal artery entrapment is an unusual cause of intermittent claudication in young people. Despite increasing interest since the paper by (Hamming: Angiology 10:369–371, 1959) one may still fail to ascribe exercise‐induced leg pain to this syndrome. It may be confused with a chronic posterior crural compartment syndrome or spinal stenosis. In this article two cases, occurring in young athletes who required reconstructive surgery, are presented.
