Proper sizing for calf implants?

Question

What is the correct way to measure your existing calves? Should you measure your calf muscle in a relaxed position? Or on your tip toes/flexed? Obviously, flexed will result in a shorter measurement. Just trying to get some help in determining my sizes and choosing the correct sized implants

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

There is no absolute standard for measuring calf implants. I personally measure resting length and width of both inner and outer gastrocnemius muscles. However some length reduction needs to be considered for bending the knee - and this varies from one patient to the next. Although i measure before and after circumference, it serves only for comparison not sizing purposes. Glad to help.
