Os subfibulare. Investigation of an accessory bone.

During dissection of a cadaver at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, the authors encountered the os subfibulare. The os subfibulare was encased within the peroneus longus and peroneus brevis tendons and initially appeared as though it may have articulated with the left lateral malleolus distally and posteriorly. The ossicle was not associated with any capsular or ligamentous structures. These findings suggest that the os subfibulare is a true sesamoid bone. A review of the literature is presented and the clinical significance of these findings is discussed.

Flexor digitorum accessorius longus muscle.

The flexor digitorum accessorius longus muscle was encountered during routine dissection of the posteromedial region of the left ankle of an 84-year-old female cadaver, by a first year podiatric medical student, in a lower extremity anatomy laboratory session. The purpose of this article is to describe the flexor digitorum accessorius longus muscle as it appeared in the cadaver; to provide background information on the muscle; and provide clinical implications for the podiatric medical practitioner.

Flexor digitorum accessorius longus muscle: an etiology of tarsal tunnel syndrome?

During routine lower extremity laboratory dissection at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, an anomalous muscle, the flexor digitorum accessorius longus was uncovered on one male and one female cadaver. The muscles were located in the deep posterior compartment of the leg and were of differing sizes and origins. This anomalous muscle has been implicated as an etiology for tarsal tunnel syndrome. In cases of tarsal tunnel syndrome that undergo surgical decompression, the flexor digitorum accessorius longus muscle may be present and may be the cause of the tibial nerve compression.
