Large calves are considered unattractive. Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A), acting as a neurotoxin that reduces muscle contraction, is widely used in calf contouring. However, there lacks detailed anatomical data to guide clinical injection.
This study aims to use ultrasonography to provide depth information of the calf muscles and determine the morphological types of the gastrocnemius muscle.
Ultrasound scanning was performed at six sites on 40 Chinese adults. A real-time ultrasound scannerwas used to detect the depth of the gastrocnemius muscle and the soleus muscle.
The thickness of the gastrocnemius muscle and the soleus muscle was measured. The depth from the skin to the surface, the middle, and the bottom of the gastrocnemius muscle was measured. The morphology of gastrocnemius muscle was classified into four different types under ultrasound according to the muscle bulge pattern.
This study took ultrasonic measurements of Asian calves to guide accurate and effective BoNT-A injection in real clinical practice.
大粗腿被认为不美观。肉毒毒素 A 型（BoNT-A）作为一种神经毒素，可以减少肌肉收缩，被广泛用于小腿塑形。然而，目前缺乏详细的解剖学数据来指导临床注射。
本研究旨在使用超声检查提供小腿肌肉的深度信息，并确定比目鱼肌的形态类型。
对 40 名中国成年人的 6 个部位进行超声扫描。使用实时超声扫描仪检测比目鱼肌和腓肠肌的深度。
测量了比目鱼肌和腓肠肌的厚度。测量了从皮肤到表面、中间和底部的比目鱼肌深度。根据肌肉隆起模式，比目鱼肌在超声下分为四种不同的类型。
本研究对亚洲人的小腿进行了超声测量，以指导在实际临床实践中进行准确、有效的 BoNT-A 注射。
