Short axis (A) and long axis (B) sonographic images of the right rectus abdominus muscle demonstrates a 2.7 x 1.7 x 3.6 cm full-thickness, grade 3 tear of the muscle. The gap between the tendon fibers is filled with fluid (star). Panoramic image (C) demonstrates the right rectus abdominus muscle tear (star) with a normal, contralateral left rectus abdominus muscle (triangle) for comparison.
