»: Calf strain is a common condition. In high-performance athletes, calf strain contributes to a substantial absence from competition., »: Player age and history of a calf strain or other leg injury are the strongest risk factors for calf strain injury and reinjury., »: Although the diagnosis is often clinical, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound are valuable to confirm the location of the strain and the grade of injury., »: Nonoperative treatment is effective for most calf strain injuries. Operative management, although rarely indicated, may be appropriate for severe cases with grade-III rupture or complications., »: Further investigation is necessary to elucidate the benefits of blood flow restriction therapy, deep water running, lower-body positive pressure therapy, platelet-rich plasma, and stem cell therapy for calf strain rehabilitation., Competing Interests: Disclosure: The Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest forms are provided with the online version of the article (http://links.lww.com/JBJSREV/A824)., (Copyright © 2022 The Authors.

Case: A 27-year-old man with coxa profunda and a right acetabular labral tear presented for surgical re-evaluation after a postless arthroscopic labral repair was attempted at an outside institution and aborted because of inadequate distraction during portal placement. Arthroscopic labral repair with a perineal post was subsequently performed without complications., Conclusion: Indications and limitations of postless hip distraction are seldom discussed in the literature. This report examines possible limitations of postless hip distraction for a patient with coxa profunda. Careful radiographic evaluation of hip anatomy may be essential for patients with deep hip sockets to determine the best-suited distraction technique., Competing Interests: Disclosure: The Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest forms are provided with the online version of the article (http://links.lww.com/JBJSCC/B373)., (Copyright © 2021 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Incorporated.)
