“…In the study carried out by Harvey et al [6] the PM did not occur in 19% of the lower limbs, while Simpson et al [15] concluded that the absence of the PM oscillated between 7% and 20%. In our earlier studies we detected the absence of the PM in 2 out of 50 lower limbs, which represented 4% [12].…”

“…Rare cases of absence of the PM were also recorded [6,12,15]. The distal course and the variations of insertion of the PM may play an important role in pathogenesis of the Achilles tendinopathy [1,10,12,17,18].…”

“…The agenesis found by the author was irrespective of sex and lateralization. Highest cases of agenesis in the review literature was by Harvey et al in the year 1983, they studied 658 lower limbs in which they found agenesis of the plantaris muscle in 126 limbs an incidence of 19.14% [23]. In 1994 by Osny et al [24], in 2010 by Aragao et al in 20 limbs [25] and in the year 2011 by Maayke et al in 107 limbs [16] they all observed that the plantaris muscle was identified in all the specimens.…”

Introduction:The pain is a modality of sensation given to the mankind as blessing, because unless pain is felt the person will not consult the doctor and the pathology may go un-noticed. The small fusiform plantaris muscle, with its long slender tendon, is of great importance from anatomical and from the surgical aspect. The plantaris muscle and its tendon are subject to considerable variation in both the points of origin and insertion.

“…Therefore, these tendons may be simultaneously present or absent. This hypothesis was tested previously in few numbers of studies in different ethnic groups (George;Harvey et al, 1983;Vanderhooft, 1996;Moss, 1988;Venter et al, 2009). However, the prevalence of absence of these tendons shows great variations among populations.…”

SUMMARY:The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between palmaris longus (PL) and plantaris (P) tendons and test the clinical usefulness of symmetry patterns between these tendons in Turkish population. This prospective study comprised a total of 240 adult patients (120 men and 120 women) who were admitted to our outpatient clinic with bilateral knee complaints that required bilateral knee MR examination during two years. Standard test (Schaefer's test, oppose the thumb to the little finger while flexing the wrist) was used to assess the presence of the PL tendon both with inspection and palpation. Knee MRI was used to determine the presence of P muscle belly on both sides. We have analyzed symmetric distribution pattern using Mc-Nemar test. The PL was absent unilaterally in 34 subjects (14.2%), while it was absent bilaterally in 17 subjects (7.1%). The P was absent unilaterally in 51 subjects (21.3%), while it was absent bilaterally in 10 subjects (4.2%). If PL was absent in one hand, the chance of having an ipsilateral P tendon was 70.6%. If PL was present in one hand, the chance of having an ipsilateral P tendon was 87.6%. The Mc-Nemar test for symmetry yielded a p value of 0.841 for ipsilateral PL and P muscles. A clear-cut link between Palmaris longus and plantaris tendons could not be demonstrated in this study. Both muscles show different variations independent from each other.
