Feet muscles
I'm translating a presentation about ultrasound scans and there is a section on the muscles within a foot. It refers to the plantar fascia, which isn't an issue, but it refers to both a "fascia plantar principal" and a "fascia plantar accesoria". All the information I can find tells me that there is only one plantar fascia, whereas this text seems to suggest that there are two, a primary one and an auxiliary one.
Anyone have any expertise on this matter? And any idea what the correct terms for both would be?

lateral plantar fascia
Not my area of expertise at all, hence low confidence level, but if it is on the sides, as Chema mentions, then "lateral" seems a likely lexical choice.

Thanks to Hernan's link, we can see that "lateral" refers to the outer part of the foot and "medial" to the inner part or arch.

Example sentence:
The lateral plantar fascia overlies the abductor and flexor digiti minimi brevis.

So, lateral is the outside of the foot and medial is the inside. Interesting :)

: No lo veo referida solo a una de ellas (lateral o medial). Pero tampoco tengo claro que "lateral and medial [plantar] fasciae" sea la opción correcta -por mucho que esta sea la lectura que me resultaría, sin otra info, más natural.

unable to find your phrases in Spanish, which makes me suspicious. Best to look at the anatomy here:

La opción de que se refiera solo a una de ellas (lateral fascia / medial fascia), como anota neilmac en respuesta, también me resuena extraño, pues entonces "fascia principal" debería hacer referencia a la fascia central (plantar aponeurosis) pero también a la fascia medial o lateral, según hayamos escogido una u otra para llamarla "accesoria". Total, que me cuadra aún menos.
Lo dicho; tal vez algo más de contexto...
Si proporcionas algo de contexto quizá sea posible dilucidar a qué zona de la fascia plantar hace referencia la denominación original para poder así plantear una traducción ajustada.
