A member asked:
Is there any documentation of the plantaris muscle/tendon originating behind the medial part of the knee rather than lateral?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plantaris: not that I have ever read. But I have seen a lot of abnormal anatomy cases lately. Abnormal Nerve distribution, extra tendons, etc. so..... Any thing is possible.
