  2. Calcaneal spur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcaneal_spur

    A calcaneal spur (also known as a heel spur) is a bony outgrowth from the calcaneal tuberosity (heel bone). [1] Calcaneal spurs are typically detected by x-ray examination. [2] It is a form of exostosis. When a foot is exposed to constant stress, calcium deposits build up on the bottom of the heel bone. Generally, this has no effect on a person ...

  3. Plantar fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fascia

    Five central part plantar aponeurosis bundles. The plantar fascia is the thick central portion of the fascia investing the plantar muscles. It extends between the medial process of the tuber calcanei [1] and the proximal phalanges of [citation needed] the toes. It provides some attachment to the flexor muscles of the toes.

  4. Plantar fasciitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fasciitis

    The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous band of connective tissue that originates from the medial tubercle and anterior aspect of the heel bone. From there, the fascia extends along the sole of the foot before inserting at the base of the toes and supports the arch of the foot. [ 3 ][ 11 ][ 13 ] Plantar fasciitis is a non-inflammatory condition ...

    FMA. 37452. Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The quadratus plantae (flexor accessorius) is separated from the muscles of the first layer by the lateral plantar vessels and nerve. It acts to aid in flexing the 2nd to 5th toes (offsetting the oblique pull of the flexor digitorum longus) and is one of the few muscles in the foot with ...

  6. Plantaris muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantaris_muscle

    The plantaris is one of the superficial muscles of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg, one of the fascial compartments of the leg. It is composed of a thin muscle belly and a long thin tendon. While not as thick as the achilles tendon, the plantaris tendon (which tends to be between 30–45 centimetres (12–18 in) in length) is ...

    FMA. 37451. Anatomical terms of muscle. [edit on Wikidata] The abductor digiti minimi (abductor minimi digiti, abductor digiti quinti) is a muscle which lies along the lateral (outer) border of the foot, [1] and is in relation by its medial margin with the lateral plantar artery, vein and nerves. Its homolog in the arm is the abductor digiti ...

  8. Plantar fibromatosis - Wikipedia

    Rheumatology. Plantar fascial fibromatosis, also known as Ledderhose's disease, Morbus Ledderhose, and plantar fibromatosis, is a relatively uncommon [ 2 ] non-malignant thickening of the feet's deep connective tissue, or fascia. In the beginning, where nodules start growing in the fascia of the foot, the disease is minor. [citation needed]

  9. Plantar fascial rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar_fascial_rupture

    The plantar fascia is a connective tissue that spans across the bottom of the foot. [1] The condition plantar fasciitis may increase the likelihood of rupture. [2] A plantar fascial rupture may be mistaken for plantar fasciitis or even a calcaneal fracture. To allow for proper diagnosis, an MRI is often needed.
