| Abstract | The plantaris muscle originates from the lateral supracondylar line of the femur in the posterior of the knee and courses distally in an inferomedial direction near the medial head of the gastrocnemius and along themedial border of the Achilles tendon. The tendon of the plantaris muscle either inserts with the Achilles tendon or can have its own independent insertion on the calcaneus (4). The mechanism of injury to the plantaris muscle typically occurs during forceful plantarflexion or when an eccentric load is experienced at the ankle during dorsiflexion as is experienced during running or jumping, or merely stepping off a curb with no apparent trauma (Figure) (2Y4). |
