Gastrocnemius tear

Introduction Due to damage to the tendon, it is unable to support the humerus and tibial joints responsible for supporting and stretching. If only one tendon is damaged, the symptoms are very mild. If both tendon tendons are broken, the tibial interface will be smoothed. Common in cattle and horses. Diagnosis by clinical symptoms. Similar to sciatic nerve injury, but mechanical damage is greater than neurological damage. The cause of the gastrocnemius laceration is the displacement of the bean bones of the ankles and the tail.

Cause

Cause: The gastrocnemius muscle is the main muscle behind the calf. If the warm-up is insufficient before exercise, the calf muscle lacks softness and fails to meet the stretching action during exercise. When jogging or slamming, for example, playing the badminton bounce wave action, It is possible to strain the muscles.

Symptoms: Suddenly there is a feeling of tearing, or a squeaking sound, or a feeling of being thrown by an object, the calf will be painful and weak;

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of gastrocnemius tear:

1, gastrocnemius muscle strain: lower limbs explosive force jump and insufficient preparation activities or long-term intense training caused the visceral muscles excessive fatigue and injury. Common in jumping projects. The main symptoms are: obvious pain after injury, lifting pain, the pain is often in the vicinity of the junction of the muscles of the lower leg and the tendon, and some of the pain occurs in the muscle abdomen.

2, gastrocnemius contraction and pain: the scientific name of cramps is muscle spasm, is a spontaneous tonic contraction of muscles. The common leg cramps are actually calf muscle spasm, which means that the calf muscles such as the gastrocnemius suddenly become very hard and the pain is unbearable, which lasts for a few seconds to tens of seconds.

3, gastrocnemius tenderness: early clinical manifestations of leptospirosis, gastrocnemius tenderness, bilateral unilateral can also be unilateral, varying degrees. The lighter only feels the calf swelling, the mild pain of the pressure, the severe calf pain is severe, can not walk, refused to press. Leptospirosis, referred to as leptospirosis, is an animal-borne infection caused by pathogenic Leptospira. Rodents and pigs are the main source of infection and are prevalent worldwide. Clinically, it is characterized by early leptospirosis, intermediate organ damage and dysfunction, and various post-allergic symptoms. Severe patients may have liver and kidney failure and diffuse hemorrhage of the lungs, often endangering the lives of patients.

The disease has spread over several continents, especially in the tropics and subtropics. The disease has been found in 28 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, and is highly prevalent in the central, southern, southwestern and eastern regions where rice is abundant. The onset season is mainly concentrated in the summer and autumn (June to October) rice harvesting period, often peaked from August to September, and the incidence rate of young and middle-aged farmers is higher. In areas with high temperatures, sporadic cases can be seen throughout the year.

4, gastrocnemius tendon pain: gastrocnemius tendon pain refers to one or both calves due to cold, or sudden changes in posture, etc., caused by gastrocnemius tendon, local pain, can not move.

Symptoms: Suddenly there is a feeling of tearing, or a "click" sound, or a feeling of being thrown by an object, the calf will be painful and weak;
