| Abstract |
The accessory soleus muscle is an uncommon congenital anatomical variant with a prevalence ranging from 0.7 to 5.5%. Although intermittent and exertional symptoms caused by this supernumerary muscle have been well documented, acute injuries have not. We present a case of an isolated rupture of the accessory soleus tendon with myotendinous retraction, mimicking clinically a "tennis leg." A 29-year-old woman sustained a hyperdorsal flexion injury of the right ankle with a severe and sudden pain in the middle part of the calf. Radiographs were normal and the diagnosis of "tennis leg" was clinically suspected. Ultrasound demonstrated bilateral accessory soleus muscles. On the symptomatic side, there was a complete isolated rupture of the accessory soleus tendon with myotendinous retraction. These findings were confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which showed no other abnormality. To our knowledge, this acute and misleading presentation has not been reported previously. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 October 2018.
All research outputs
#6,208,216
of 23,041,514 outputs
Outputs from Skeletal Radiology
#310
of 1,478 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#109,071
of 329,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Skeletal Radiology
#10
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,041,514 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,478 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,487 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
