Brief Answer:
No surgery needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached images. The gap in the muscle that you can see can be due to a fibrosis after a soft tissue injury. This can be a normal variation also. A ruptured muscle is painful and restricts the normal movements of the leg. This seems to be a minor soft tissue injury and any surgical correction is not needed. An MRI scan will help in confirming the diagnosis.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
