Musculoskeletal ultrasound allows the incorporation of real-time imaging into the grading of injury and visual confirmation of physical examination findings and patient symptoms. 6,18 Ultrasound proves a useful tool to assist the clinician in assessing the specific cause of calf injury, estimating the severity of the injury, monitoring progress ...

Sonography of the symptomatic calf can confirm the diagnosis of several conditions that would otherwise be treated clinically and can exclude more significant abnormalities. We outline common abnormal conditions detectable by sonography and illustrate the differences among their sonographic appearances.

2025年1月21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 …

2023年1月20日 · Ultrasound examination may be normal or in low-grade injuries demonstrate focal or diffuse regions of increased echogenicity. Fiber disruption is characterized by well-defined hypoechoic/anechoic regions.

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 ...

Ultrasound: gastrocnemius injury • Type 1: myoaponeurotic injury (no intermuscular hematoma) • Type 2: aponeurotic injury (most common) – 2A: <50% width; 2B: >50% width • Type 3: free gastrocnemius aponeurosis injury – Longest return to play • Type 4: mixed type 2 and 3 • Worse prognosis : intermuscular hematoma and

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.

2017年3月10日 · 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.

2024年5月11日 · Typically, muscle injuries present with pain and loss of function. Clinically, they can be graded as 1: grade 1: no appreciable muscle tearing; <5% loss of function/strength. grade 2: damage to the musculotendinous junction (MTJ); reduced strength; some residual function

MSKUS allows the incorporation of real-time imaging into the grading of injury and visual confirmation of physical examination findings and patient symptoms. MSKUS proves a useful tool to assist the clinician in assessing the specific cause of the calf injury, estimating the severity of the injury, monitoring progress of healing, and managing ...
