Plantaris

A long slim muscle of the calf between the gastrocnemius and soleus. It is sometimes double and at other times missing.


Insertion of a tooth into the bony socket from which it may have been removed by accident, or transplantation of a tooth into the socket from which a tooth has just been removed. The transplanted tooth may come from the patient or a donor.


A slender and fragile muscle situated at the rear of the calf in the leg. It is prone to ruptures, often occurring in athletes. When such an injury takes place, the individual experiences a sensation akin to being struck forcefully on the calf with a heavy object. As a result, they fall and are unable to stand or walk.
