2017年2月6日 · Avulsion of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle is a rarely reported cause of lameness in dogs, which has not yet been reported in the cat. 1–5 Injuries to the gastrocnemius muscle can occur at the origin of the lateral or medial heads, in the muscle belly, at the musculotendinous junction and in the region of the tendon insertion to ...

Injuries to the Achilles mechanism are common in cats and dogs, but in the majority of cases the common calcaneal tendon 1-4 is affected, rather than the proximal origin of the gastrocnemius muscle 5-12.

The superficial digital flexor muscle and tendon, the gastrocnemius tendon and the combined tendon of the gracilus, semitendinosus and biceps femoris muscles are the main components. What common injuries occur in the Achilles’ tendon? Traumatic. Atraumatic (chronic and degenerative in nature)

The gastrocnemius muscle is a muscle of the pelvic limb located caudally to the tibia and the stifle joint. It is composed of two almost symmetrical heads. It forms the triceps surae muscle with the soleus muscle .

A 7-year-old male, castrated, domestic shorthair cat was presented with a plantigrade stance of the left pelvic limb. An avulsion of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle was diagnosed based on clinical examination and radiographic assessment. Surgical …

The gastrocnemius tendon is most commonly torn. The typical sign of a gastrocnemius tendon tear is a partially dropped hock and curling of the toes. Surgical treatment involves repairing the tendon and supporting the limb in a cast for about 2 months. Anatomy. The Achilles’ tendon is made of five tendons; four of these tendons attach to the ...

Avulsion fracture of the medial head or lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle is a rare injury caused by traction on the origin of the medial head of the muscle on the medial femoral condyle. Achilles tendon injuries or common calcaneal tendon injuries are most commonly caused by laceration or sharp trauma.

2022年6月3日 · Again, the medial head of the cat’s gastrocnemius muscle originates from the sesamoid bone above the medial epicondyle of the femur and its distal adjacent shaft. All the heads, along with some other thigh muscles, form a common tendon (known as Achilles tendon) that inserts on the proximal end of the calcaneus bone.

2008年4月1日 · The severity of the rupture of the tendon has been classified as type I (complete disruption, plantegrade stance), type IIa (musculotendinous rupture, tarsal hyperflexion), type IIb (ruptured tendon but paratenon intact, tarsal hyperflexion), type IIc (gastrocnemius tendon rupture but semitendinosus intact, flexed hock with excessive digit ...

Avulsion from calcaneus with/without intact superficial digital flexor tendon. Signs: variable hyperflexion of hock and digits - may become bilateral; may not present as acute injury - marked tendon thickening common. Treatment: hold hock in extension +/- surgical repair/resection and repair. Acute or chronic hindlimb lameness.
