Abstract
There is a band of very tough tissue found under the foot called the plantar aponeurosis or plantar fascia. The areas found within it are called central, lateral and medial and the most important of these is the central area. In this segment, the front is wider and dips to the back, while two long, upward-directed septa are found between the muscles of the foot. The soft tissue on your sides and center is the thinner portion and the center is the thinnest part of all. In front, the left and right sides of the midbrain are thin, while they thicken as you move toward the back. The plantar fascia mainly supports the shape of the longitudinal arch in our feet. As part of a standard dissection at the Medical University, I found an abnormal appearance of the plantar aponeurosis. Using tissue taken from a human body, researchers photographed the unusual finding. Several strands were detected at the beginning or proximal point, of the plantar aponeurosis in the left foot. All of them appeared like various octopus tentacles organized in different ways. Two threads went from side to side, joining the body’s fat cells and a third went straight back away from the centre. Particularly, the beginning of the cell revealed that the first lateral strand split into several different fascicles. Not many research findings exist about changes in the plantar aponeurosis. Foot surgeons must be familiar with the special features of the foot’s anatomy.
