Understanding Gastrocnemius Muscle Tear. A gastrocnemius muscle tear is a severe, sudden injury to your calf muscle. This muscle helps flex the lower leg. It also helps you do quick movements, such as jumping and sprinting. An injury to this muscle is sometimes called âtennis leg.â. gas-trok-NEE-mee-us.
The gastrocnemius muscle is the one that forms the greater part of the calf of the leg. A Baker's cyst is named for a Dr. Baker who discovered it. It results from inflammation of the bursa associated with the attachment of the gastrocnemius muscle above the knee. When the Baker's cyst ruptures, it can cause pain and swelling that mimics thrombophlebitis, so proper diagnosis is important. Fortunately, in most cases, diagnosis of Baker's cyst can be made by physical examination of the affected area.
