Abstract:
Accessory muscles are relatively rare anatomic duplications
of muscles that may appear anywhere in the muscular
system. Though a wide array of accessory and supernumery
muscles involving the ankle have been described in the
literature, this is the first reported case we are aware of that
features two accessory muscles. Accessory muscles are
typically asymptomatic and often picked up as incidental
findings but are important to be identified in the presence of
chronic persistent ankle pain and the absence of other more
common aetiologies.
