Abstract
Medial head of the gastrocnemius tear described as “tennis leg” is the third most commonly strained muscle in elite athletes, after the biceps femoris and rectus femoris. Although especially frequent among tennis athletes, this injury also occurs in other sports such as skiing, running, and jumping. The diagnosis is made clinically, but imaging, particularly sonography, is useful in confirming the diagnosis and in excluding other causes of calf pain.
