M62.1: Other rupture of muscle (nontraumatic)

Other rupture of muscle, nontraumatic, indicates a spontaneous or non-injury related tear in muscle tissue. This condition usually results from excessive strain or stress on the muscle, often without an actual injury or blow. The rupture can happen in any muscle in the body but it's more common in areas subjected to heavy use or repetitive movements, such as thighs, calves, or arms. When muscle rupture occurs, it can be moderately to extremely painful depending on the severity of the rupture. Other symptoms may include sudden onset of sharp pain, significant weakness in the affected muscle, visible bruising, and a palpable defect or gap in the muscle tissue. In severe cases, this condition may restrict movement, limiting one's ability to perform daily tasks. It's important to note that muscle ruptures vary in severity from minor tears to complete muscle separation. This condition doesn't occur due to an infection or a pathogen; it's a physical condition caused by muscle overuse or stress.
