A 7-month-old female ostrich (Struthio Camelus) was studied. On the left leg, muscles of the shank and foot were dissected and the right leg was frozen and cut into slices for topographical examination. Some muscles and skeleton measurements were also noted. No trace was found of the following muscles: M. plantaris, M. extensor hallucis longus, M. extensor hallucis brevis, M. flexor hallucis brevis, M. adductor d. II, M. abductor d. II, M. flexor phalangis secundi d. III and M. adductor d. IV. Some interesting myological and topographical peculiarities are specified concerning the 16 muscles mentioned, in order to provide useful findings for surgically applied purposes: in case of locomotor problems with leg deformities.
对一只7个月大的雌性鸵鸟（鸵鸟属）进行了研究。解剖了左腿小腿和足部的肌肉，将右腿冷冻并切成薄片进行局部检查。还记录了一些肌肉和骨骼的测量数据。未发现以下肌肉：跖肌、拇长伸肌、拇短伸肌、拇短屈肌、第二趾收肌、第二趾展肌、第三趾第二指节屈肌和第四趾收肌。针对上述16块肌肉，明确了一些有趣的肌肉学和局部解剖学特点，以便为手术应用提供有用的发现：在出现腿部畸形导致的运动问题时。
