1 A calf strain often occurs when the calf muscles are working eccentrically ( working while under a stretch), such as coming down from a jump, and also during the time when you are about to push off to jump again. Most often the strain occurs at the junction of one of the muscles (where the muscle attaches. Calf muscle tears occur higher up where the muscle belly attaches to the fascia ( junction). Figure 1 shows the typical location of each injury. Because of the similarities between the injuries, an Achilles tendon rupture must be ruled out in the diagnosis. Treatment of calf muscle tears is nonsurgical. In most. May 23, Palpation of the calf should occur along the entire length of the muscles and the aponeuroses. It is necessary to identify tenderness, swelling, thickening, defects, and masses if present. Gastrocnemius strains typically present with tenderness in the medial belly or the junction. In soleus. These do occur, but not typically in the setting of acute calf strain. Several proximal junction strains have been reported with ACL injuries. Distal tendon tears occur together with Achilles tendinopathy. One study of calf strains by ultrasound reported plantaris tears in only 2 cases (1.4%) of 141 patients. Sudden onset of pain, tenderness localized to the junction of the medial head of the gastrocnemius, and a palpable defect in the medial belly of the gastrocnemius just above the junction are pathognomonic for a gastrocnemius tear.,. Muscle tears located in the calf region are often. Soleus is also a muscle in the calf, lying underneath gastrocnemius. It is more important in maintaining balance and is rarely injured. Most calf injuries happen in the gastrocnemius muscle bellies or where the muscle attaches to the tendon at the junction. The patient will feel a sharp pain in the calf,. The physical examination immediately following injury reveals a palpable defect in the medial belly of the gastrocnemius just above the junction. A sudden pain is felt in the calf, and the patient often reports an audible or palpable "pop" in the medial aspect of the posterior calf, or they have a feeling as. A calf strain is a tear of the muscle fibres of the muscles at the back of the lower leg and can range from mild to very severe.
