A myocele is a condition characterized by the protrusion of muscle tissue through a defect in the surrounding fascia, typically resulting from injury or strain. It often occurs in the context of a muscle tear or rupture, where the muscle fibers bulge outward. This condition can lead to pain, swelling, and functional impairment in the affected area. Treatment usually involves rest, physical therapy, and, in some cases, surgical intervention to repair the fascia and restore normal function.
