2024年2月16日 · Ultrasound demonstrates fluid deep to medial gastrocnemius and superficial to the soleus muscle, most prominent at the level of the myotendinous junction. A tear in the deep surface of gastrocnemius may be seen as a disruption in contour and …
Both ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful in the diagnosis of injuries to the medial head of the gastrocnemius, as well as to determine presence of co-existing hematoma.13 However, US is the preferred im-aging technique as it is easily accessible, cost-effective, and repeatable.13 It also offers the ability to perform ...

Numerous injuries to the posterior compartment can mimic gastrocnemius strain, and musculoskeletal ultrasound can aide in their diagnosis by incorporating real-time imaging into the grading of the injury and visual confirmation of physical examination findings.
Not the Plantaris – Keys to Better Diagnosis of Calf Strain Injuries
A fluid collection (hematoma) between the soleus and the medial gastrocnemius is typically the most obvious feature on an MRI of a calf strain injury. Ascertaining the status of the normally very thin and subtle plantaris tendon is more difficult, as is evaluating the curved and overlapping calf muscles on often obliquely oriented MR slice planes.
Sonography of the Painful Calf: Differential Considerations
Also known as tennis leg, tear of the medial head of the gastrocnemius typically occurs when the muscle is overstretched by dorsiflexion of the ankle with full knee extension. The patient typically points directly over the musculotendinous junction when asked to show the point of …
Gastrocnemius Tear - ultrasound cases
Ultrasound images were obtained and and ankle effusion was seen as well as a muscle tear in the medial head of gastrocnemius. No apparent defect in the Achilles tendon was noted. Strain of ATFL noted hypoechoic swelling and loss of fibrillar pattern of the ligament noted.

Ultrasound classification of medial gastrocnemious injuries
This study proposes a medial head of the gastrocnemius injury classification based on sonographic findings and relates this to the time to return to work (RTW) and return to sports (RTS) to evaluate the prognostic value of the classification. 115 subjects (64 athletes and 51 workers) were retrospectively reviewed to asses specific injury ...
Medial Head of Gastrocnemius Tear: Type 2B Injury Soleus MG Soleus MG Long Axis Note: muscle abnormality (myoaponeurosis injury) and adjacent gastrocnemius aponeurosis discontinuity and >50% involvement (short axis) Medial Head Gastrocnemius Tear: Type 3 Injury From: Pedret C et al. Scand J Med Sci Sports 2020; 30:2456 Note: injury to free ...
A novel approach to sonographic examination in a patient with a calf ...
2009年6月25日 · On suspicion of a ruptured left medial head gastrocnemius muscle, a soft tissue ultrasound examination was performed. An ultrasound examination revealed symmetrical findings of bilateral calf muscles without evidence of muscle rupture. A roentgenogram of the left lower limb did not reveal any bony lesions.
