Where this comes from

Abstract

The accessory soleus muscle can pose a diagnostic dilemma for exertional ankle pain, especially in athletes. Once diagnosed, the current treatment options require an extensile approach and can be associated with substantial risk and a slow recovery. We describe a minimally invasive, safe method that has proved successful in our practice.
