“…It has been suggested that differential contraction of two adjacent muscle bellies that converge on a common tendon formed by the blending of their aponeuroses predisposes them to strain injury (aponeurotic distraction injury) (29,30). This pattern of injury is common at the distal gastrocnemius and soleus as their aponeuroses converge to form the Achilles tendon (27) (Fig 11).…”

“…The stellate form usually follows muscle contusion from a direct blow, whereas the linear form typically follows muscle strain and commonly surrounds the MTJ. The lesion does not show any change with contraction of the muscle belly [24,25].…”

Muscle injuries can be classified into strain injuries and contusions. Depending on the type of injury, different complications may occur, which in turn can be divided into early, intermediate and delayed complications. A prompt diagnosis of complications allows early treatment and permits to avoid harmful sequelae. Imaging studies, ultrasonography in particular, allow (recognizing) the assessment of complications whenever clinically suspected. In this article the most frequent complications of muscle injuries are presented. Keywords Muscle injuries Á Complications Á UltrasoundRiassunto Le lesioni muscolari possono essere classificate in lesioni contusive e lesioni distrattive. A seconda del tipo di lesione, possono insorgere complicanze differenti, che a loro volta possono essere suddivise in complicanze precoci, intermedie e tardive. Un rapido e preciso riconoscimento delle complicanze consente di intervenire precocemente e permette di evitare conseguenze dannose. L'imaging, in particolar modo l'ecografia, permette il riconoscimento di complicanze ogni qualvolta esse siano sospettate clinicamente. In questo articolo vengono presentate le complicanze più frequenti delle lesioni muscolari.

“…On US, grade 1 tears may be hyperechogenic, hypoechogenic or may appear normal (Lee and Healy 2004). In grade 2 tears, interstitial oedema and haemorrhage, haematoma at the musculotendinous junction and perifascial fluid collections appear hypoechogenic.…”
