Using ultrasound as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), the plantaris tendon can be identified between the top of the calcaneus and the upper third of the lower leg in cross sections. Due to the surrounding fat tissue, the best proof of plantaris tendon existence and diameter can be obtained on sections at the level of syndesmosis and ankle joint. This allows to avoid unnecessary incisions during plastic and reconstructive surgery using this tendon as an autologeous transplant. For the experienced examiner ultrasound seems to be the easiest way to show plantaris tendon existence; in case of doubt, MRI or CT will give further information.
