Comparison of thicknesses of talar cartilage, tibialis anterior, and gastrocnemius muscles between high-activity patients with unilateral traumatic transtibial amputation and nonamputated individuals: A clinical and sonographic study.

TA and GCM muscles were found to be thickened on the intact sides of traumatic unilateral transtibial amputees. The correlations between lower leg muscle thicknesses and clinical parameters suggest that the observed thickness change is not necessarily pathological and has potential impact on function at least in our young cohort.
