Abstract

Arches of foot is the blend of skeletal and muscular components, which is exclusive characteristic feature of evolution as an alteration to routine erect posture in humans. The human foot is convened mechanical intricacy and essential constancy due to “arches of foot”. Appreciative muscle construction of the foot may assist in the intention of surgical trials such as tendon transfer, biomechanical sculpting of the foot, prosthesis strategy, and scrutiny of foot function. During routine dissection of the foot it was noted that the tendon of flexor digitorum brevis to the little toe was missing and was replaced by a musculo-tendinous slip arising from the tendon of flexor digitorum longus in the sole of the foot. Hence, the awareness of the incidence of absence and deviations of fourth slip of flexor digitorum brevis in relation to the demographic features of patients would be of clinical importance.
