Not a Plantaris tear

[Richard Ayre]

Thanks for the excellent video. I found my first case of a minor medial gastroc + FGA injury today.
The plantaris was tiny, but clearly visible and intact.
I would have previously blamed the plantaris for these appearances.

Yippeee,

Nice one Richard,

I agree with your diagnosis,

It is only a small FGA tear,

But they still hurt!

I agree the planters is in the usual place and is normal,

Great work,

Steve

Thanks, of note this patient was particularly sore, and came in wearing a moon boot.
I was expecting a larger, more obvious injury.

Yes, FGA tears are really painful.

They are often in a moon boot.

I think this is consistent with your ultrasound findings.

Steve.
