What is Calf Implants Surgery ?
Calf implants or calf augmentation is the procedure of choice for enhancing the appearance of the calf muscles, enlarging them and making them proportional in size and shape with the legs and the rest of the body.
The main reason for undergoing calf implant surgery is because of underdeveloped calf muscles. This can be bilateral, i.e underdeveloped calf muscles in both legs or sometimes unilateral caused by hypoplasia. The causes for a hypo-plastic leg can be congenital or acquired.
Some of the congenital causes are:
- Skeletal abnormalities such as underdeveloped calf, longitudinal arrests and talipes equinovarus
- CNS deformations such as spina bifida
- Neuromuscular defects such as cerebral palsy
Other acquired causes can be:
- Nerve damage by trauma
- Collagen-vascular diseases such as scleroderma
- CNS infections such as poliomyelitis
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

Step 1
Proper size and position of the implant is determined preoperatively.

An incision is placed on the inner portion of the knee in the natural crease. It passes through the underlying connective tissue and muscles. Then with the help of a blunt dissector an internal pocket is created to make space for the implant to be placed. The implant is then inserted.
Step 3
Sutures are placed and dressed in compression bandages for proper healing and positioning.
