Plantaris Tendon" Rupture
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Presentation
The patient will come in limping, having suffered a whip-like sting in his calf while stepping off hard on his foot or charging the net during a game of tennis, or similar activity. He may have actually heard or felt a "snap" at the time of injury. The deep calf pain persists and may be accompanied by mild swelling and ecchymosis. Neurovascular function will be intact.
My wife once had plantar fasciitis, and it was no laughing matter.
