FGA rupture?

[Linh]

Hi Steve,

I got a case and was wondering if the FGA is completely ruptured or if it is still intact but injured and scarred up. Patient fell forward during skiing with his foot/boot planted in the snow. He is very ambulant, no limping. No discoloration or bruising and only mildly tender now over the medial calf. Injury was 6 weeks ago.

I personally think it is ruptured.

I tried to upload clips but the file is too big. With dorsi-plantar flexion, there is still synchronous movement between the soleus and Mgas.

I think this is a common pattern,

It looks like he has ruptured his FGA 6 weeks ago and now there is a granulation response in the area of the FGA and the aponeurotic space between medial gastric and soleus.

I see this commonly inpatients who have had a tennis leg injury that is not well rehabbed.

There are several examples of this in the webinar towards the end of the presentation.

With the videos, you need to shrink the file size a little to allow uploading.

I use a program called Wondershare Uni Converter 13

It is very good for manipulating video files and still images.

Steve.

Thanks for your input Steve! Will have a look at using that app.
