The current work aims to determine the prevalence of FT in a Scottish population. Forty-four caucasian cadavers of Scottish origin (88 lower limbs; 19 females, 25 males; age at death: 81.8 ± 11.2 years), preserved using the Thiel soft-fix embalming method were analyzed. The absence of FT was observed in 5 of the cadavers studied (11.4%). In four male cadavers the absence was verified unilaterally; in one female cadaver the absence was verified bilaterally. Taking into account the total number of lower limbs, FT was absent from 6.8% of cases, determining a total prevalence of 93.2%. There were no significant differences in the presence or absence of FT when comparing lower limbs of female vs male cadavers (p = 0.614). In three of the four cadavers in whom the unilateral absence of FT was verified, an accessory tendon in that side of the body was observed, in all cases with origin in the tendon of the extensor digitorum longus to the 5th toe. The present study confirms, for the Scottish population, the high prevalence of FT. These findings, in conjunction with its anatomical characteristics and its potential functional importance during gait in humans, would lead to considering FT as constant, being its absence a variation. Fibularis tertius (FT) es un músculo del compartimiento anterior de la pierna considerado inconstante, cuya prevalencia reportada varía ampliamente entre distintas poblaciones. El propósito del presente trabajo es determinar la prevalencia de FT en una población escocesa. Se analizaron 44 cadáveres caucásicos de origen escocés (88 miembros inferiores; 19 mujeres, 25 hombres; edad al fallecimiento: 81.8 ± 11.2 años), preservados utilizando la técnica de embalsamiento de Thiel. La ausencia de FT se constató en 5 de los cadáveres estudiados (11.4%), en forma unilateral en cuatro cadáveres masculinos, y en forma bilateral en un cadáver femenino. Considerando el número total de miembros inferiores analizados, la ausencia de FT se observó en 6.8% de los casos, determinando una prevalencia total de 93.2%. No hubo diferencias significativas en la presencia o ausencia de FT al comparar los miembros inferiores de cadáveres masculinos vs femeninos (p = 0.614). En tres de los cuatro cadáveres con ausencia unilateral de FT, se observó un tendón accesorio con origen ipsilateral en el tendón del músculo extensor digitorum longus hacia el quinto dedo. El presente estudio confirma, para la población escocesa, la alta prevalencia de FT. Estos hallazgos, aunados a sus características anatómicas y su potencial importancia para la marcha en humanos, deberían llevar a considerar a FT como un músculo constante, siendo su ausencia una variante.
