Essentially, you probably wouldn't be able to walk, or it would be insanely painful to even attempt to, the severity of a broken leg or even worse. When people sever their Achilles tendon and it becomes detatched from the bone, they usually can't walk, because you need the muscle to move the bone for limb movement. Some kind of surgical treatment is usually required as soon as possible after the injury occurs, followed by a period of resting the limb.

Why is the fibula nicknamed the calf bone?
The fibula is sometimes referred to as the calf bone because it runs parallel to the tibia in the lower leg, giving shape and structure to the calf muscle. However, the fibula plays a minimal role in weight-bearing compared to the tibia.
A strong connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone?
Tendons attach muscles to bones. An example is the Achilles tendon that attaches your calf muscle (gastrocnemius) to the bones in your foot.
What is the anatomical term for the calf muscle?

What happens when you pull or sprain a leg muscle?
Sudden pain that occurs in the calf muscle during activity may be the result of a pulled or torn calf muscle. This is called a calf strain or a calf pull. It occurs when part of the muscles of the lower leg (gastrocnemius or soleus) are stretched beyond their ability to withstand the tension. This stretching can result in small microtears to the muscle fibers or, in a severe injury, a complete rupture of the muscle fibers.

What is the calf insertion point and how does it affect muscle function and performance?
The calf insertion point is where the calf muscles attach to the heel bone (calcaneus). This attachment point plays a crucial role in muscle function and performance by allowing the calf muscles to generate force and power during movements like walking, running, and jumping. A strong and well-developed calf insertion point can improve overall muscle function and enhance athletic performance.
Are tendons lumps against the bone?
Not necessarily, tendons attach the muscle to the bone, so when your muscles contract they move your bones causing body movement, for example, your Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius (big outer calf muscle) and soleus (inner calf muscle) to your calcaneous (heel), and when they contract, you take a step. Now that is not all that makes you take a step, but you get the idea anyway.
