• Resumen

  • A double plantaris muscle was observed in the right popliteal fossa during undergraduate medical dissection which was performed on a male cadaver of about 40 years. Its proximal belly originated from the lower part of the lateral supracondylar ridge, and the distal belly from the posterior aspect of the lateral femoral condyle. Both bellies had a single long tendon inserted into the calcaneum. After careful dissection, the muscle was observed to be innervated by the tibial nerve.
