| The plantar aponeurosis (PA), which is a thickened layer of deep fascia located on the plantar surface of the foot, is comprised of three parts. There are differing opinions on its nomenclature since various authors use the terms PA and plantar fascia (PF) interchangeably. In addition, the variable classifications of its parts has led to confusion. In order to assess the nature of the PA, this study documented its morphology. Furthermore, a pilot histological analysis was conducted to examine whether the structure is an aponeurosis or fascia. This study comprised of a morphological analysis of the three parts of the PA by micro- and macro-dissection of 50 fetal and 50 adult cadaveric feet, respectively (total n=100). Furthermore, a pilot histological... |
