1 sie 2021 · In this case report, we attempt to identify an anomalous accessory muscle of the posterior compartment of the leg [Compartimentum posterius cruris] detected during cadaveric dissection and...
The musculoskeletal architecture of major muscles for the upper and lower right limb of a 104 year old female cadaver was presented. This is the first data set that combines an upper and lower limb from one single cadaver.
2 lis 2023 · There are four muscles in the deep compartment of the posterior leg. One muscle, the popliteus, acts only on the knee joint. The remaining three muscles (tibialis posterior, flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum longus) act on the ankle and foot.
An accessory muscle of the posterior compartment of leg of clinical significance: A cadaveric case report. Int. J. Morphol., 39(4):1054-1057, 2021. SUMMARY: Accessory and anomalous muscles are common in humans, although their unique morphologic characteristics can make accurate identification difficult.
