Translations:Dorsale Unterschenkelmuskulatur/159/en

The plantar muscle is also called the plantar muscle. It is a small, double-jointed muscle with a relatively short and pronounced muscle belly. This passes into a thin tendon about 30 to 40 cm long. The muscle can be either rudimentary or completely absent. Its origin lies at the linea supracondylaris lateralis of the femur and at the joint capsule of the knee joint. The long tendon radiates into the fascia of the soleus muscle and ends in the Achilles tendon. In some cases, the plantaris muscle also attaches to the medial aspect of the tuber calcanei or to the plantar aponeurosis.
