Abstract :
Introduction: In the Leg region of Lower Limb, in the Lateral compartment, Muscles present are: Peroneus Longus, Peroneus Brevis. In Anterior compartment of leg, Peroneus Tertious is present as part of Extensor Digitorum Longus. Likewise We become curious, is there any additional muscle slip of Peroneus? So out of Curiosity, We decided to Study this topic. Materials and Methods: This Study has been done on 32 cadaveric Leg specimens. Incidence of Peroneus Quartus, Origin, Insertion was noted. Length of Muscle was measured by using Sliding Vernier Caliper. Observations and Results: Peroneus Quartus was present in 15 out of 32 Specimens( 46.8%). Total length of Muscle on average was 9.5 cm on the Right side and 12.6 cm on the Left side. Discussion and Summary: Presence of Additional slip of Muscle provides insight into more exploration of the Body Muscles. That gives more Knowledge to Anatomists, Which can be inculcated to Student fraternity. Also Peroneus Quartus Muscle can be utilized in Treatment of Peroneal Tendon Tear.
