Rupture of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle, or tennis leg, is a common lesion affecting middle-aged persons. An imaging examination may be needed to rule out other diseases and assess the severity of the tear. We reviewed the sonographic images of 65 patients with clinically suspected tennis leg. Fifty-one partial and 14 complete tears were diagnosed. Twenty-five patients had follow-up examinations (15 days to 24 months; mean, 45 days). The torn muscle fibers, hematoma, and the reparative process were appreciated by ultrasonography. Ultrasonography may be a useful noninvasive, low-cost modality for diagnosis and follow-up of tennis leg.
腓肠肌内侧头撕裂，即网球腿，是一种常见于中年人的损伤。可能需要进行影像学检查以排除其他疾病并评估撕裂的严重程度。我们回顾了65例临床疑似网球腿患者的超声图像。诊断出51例部分撕裂和14例完全撕裂。25例患者进行了随访检查（15天至24个月；平均45天）。超声检查可观察到撕裂的肌纤维、血肿和修复过程。超声检查可能是一种用于网球腿诊断和随访的有用的非侵入性、低成本方法。
