title: [Imaging of painful calf in athletes].
abstract: A painful calf is frequent in the athlete and is dominated by tennis leg. After a short anatomical review, the principal causes of calf pain in a clinical acute and chronic context are emphasized. The contribution of the different imaging modalities will be discussed, with particular attention paid to muscular lesions. A few of the more unusual causes will be discussed.
