Calf pain following injury The images demonstrate the presence of a focal hypoechoic defect of the distal medial portion of the medial head of the gastrocnemius along the aponeurosis at the interface with the soleus. This defect measures approximately 2 cm in length and is compatible with a hematoma at the site of a partial-thickness tear. There is no evidence of a full-thickness rupture. There is diffuse subcutaneous edema particularly of the medial calf. Lateral head of the gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon are unremarkable.
Small partial-thickness tear / hematoma of the medial head of the gastrocnemius as above with associated diffuse subcutaneous edema.
