Abstract
Musculotendinous injuries represent a major concern in sports medicine, with significant implications for athlete recovery and performance. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, in particular, play a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring these injuries, guiding treatment strategies, and estimating prognosis. Understanding the anatomy and distribution of connective tissue is fundamental to identifying and classifying musculotendinous injuries accurately. This review focuses on the imaging features of musculotendinous injuries and their evolution, emphasizing the role of connective tissue and the anatomical differences influencing injury patterns. It also examines current grading systems and their prognostic value, highlighting the need for muscle-specific subclassifications to improve accuracy in predicting return to play.

J Bodyw Mov Ther 2025; 42:583-588. [PMID: 40325726 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbmt.2025.01.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2025] [Indexed: 05/07/2025]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the phase angle (PhA) values of injured and uninjured hemibodies in athletes (n = 138; 19.4 ± 5.3 y; 75.4 % men). METHODS A 50 kHz, octopolar bioelectrical impedance analyzer (BIA) was used to obtain PhA values and an orthopedic physical examination (OPE) was performed to assess injuries. The injuries were grouped according to body region, so that injuries in the right or left limbs (arm and/or leg) were grouped into "right injured hemibody" or "left injured hemibody''. The uninjured contralateral hemibody was used as a control. The paired Student's t-test and Wilcoxon test were performed to assess the differences in PhA between right and left hemibodies. RESULTS Comparing uninjured hemibodies, the right side exhibited higher PhA (14.1 ± 2.0 vs. 13.8 ± 2.1, p < 0.001) compared to the left side. The uninjured right hemibody also exhibited higher PhA than the injured left hemibody (14.6 ± 1.9 vs. 14.3 ± 1.7, p = 0.032). Athletes with the right side affected by injuries presented similar PhA compared to their respective uninjured left hemibodies (14.1 ± 1.6 vs. 14.0 ± 1.5, p = 0.186). CONCLUSION PhA is different between hemibodies, being higher in the right side, possibly because of the athletes' laterality. However, the differences in PhA between hemibodies disappeared when the right side was injured, showing that the PhA was affected by injuries.

Abstract
Most muscle tears occur in the lower extremities, especially in the hamstrings. The hamstring muscle complex consists of the semimembranosus (SM), semitendinosus (ST), and biceps femoris (BF) muscles. They originate from the ischial tuberosity, and while the BF inserts into the head of the fibula, the ST and SM muscles attach to the medial aspect of the tibia. The hamstrings are primarily hip extensors and knee flexors. Tears mostly occur during sport practice, particularly during forceful stretching or high-speed running, and typical sites are grouped and classified according to their location within the muscle anatomy. Sprint and stretching injuries typically affect the BF and SM, respectively. MRI and US are key complementary modalities for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of hamstring injuries, as injury length, connective tissue involvement, and tear location determine evolution, recovery strategies, and return to play. ©RSNA, 2025.

Abstract
BackgroundHamstring strain injuries (HSIs) are among the most common injuries in football, causing significant time-loss and impacting player performance. Despite various preventive strategies, the incidence of HSIs remains high, necessitating evidence-based approaches to reduce injury rates.ObjectiveThis scoping review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Nordic Hamstring Exercise (NHE) in reducing the incidence and recurrence of HSIs in football players and to provide practical recommendations for its implementation.MethodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PEDro, and the Cochrane Library. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on NHE interventions for football players were included. The primary outcomes were injury incidence, recurrence, and compliance with NHE programs.ResultsThe review found that NHE significantly reduces the incidence of new hamstring injuries by up to 60% and recurrent injuries by up to 85%. Players performing NHE demonstrated a 35% increase in eccentric hamstring strength. Compliance with NHE programs was a critical factor in achieving these outcomes, with higher adherence rates leading to better preventive effects.ConclusionsThe Nordic Hamstring Exercise is an effective, evidence-based intervention for preventing hamstring injuries in football. Its integration into regular training programs, combined with education to improve compliance, can significantly reduce injury rates and enhance player performance. Future research should focus on standardizing protocols and exploring long-term outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe imaging-detected musculoskeletal injuries and image-guided interventional procedures during the 2022 FIFA football (soccer) World Cup. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of all radiologic examinations performed in a central medical facility for athletes was performed by two board certified musculoskeletal radiologists. Data on muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and bone injuries were collected according to imaging modality and body part. RESULTS A total of 143 radiology examinations in 94 athletes were evaluated at the central medical facility. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was the most utilized modality (67%), followed by radiography (12%), ultrasonography (9%), and computed tomography (4%). Image-guided interventions corresponded to 8% of all radiological examinations. There were 112 injuries described, affecting muscles and tendons (42%), ligaments (25%), cartilage (21%), and bone (12%). Most injured body parts were thigh (27%), foot and ankle (23%), knee (23%), and hip/groin (8%). Most injured players were within the age range of 24-35 years old (71%). CONCLUSION Imaging was utilized in 11% of players who participated in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. MRI was the most utilized modality, and acute muscle tears were the most diagnosed type of injury. Diagnostic imaging played an important role in diagnosing sports-related injuries during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Abstract
The hip joint is home to a diverse range of neoplasms, as well as many pseudo lesions, including post-traumatic, infectious, and degenerative processes. Through careful evaluation of the clinical context, location, and imaging features, these entities can be distinguished, enabling accurate and efficient diagnosis. While not exhaustive, this article reviews a selection of benign, malignant, and non-neoplastic lesions affecting the hip bones, cartilage, and soft tissues, focusing on their notable imaging and pathologic features.

Abstract
The proximal origin of the rectus femoris from the anterior superior iliac spine, anterior inferior iliac spine and the supraacetabular sulcus comprises the proximal tendinous complex. A practical MR imaging-guided approach adapted to the anatomy of the proximal tendinous complex and the myoconnective transitions along the rectus femoris is critical in accurately evaluating and following rectus femoris injuries. This review presents various conditions, including avulsions, tendon tears, and myoconnecive lesions along the muscle that can result in loss of function and pain. Furthermore, different pathologies or "abnormal states" that can present with symptoms similar to myoconnective lesions are demonstrated.

Abstract
Supraspinous fossa is an important location in the periscapular region, which houses important structures such as the supraspinatus muscle and the suprascapular nerve. The supraspinous fossa can be affected by pathologies involving its contents (supraspinatus muscle and suprascapular nerve), osseous boundary (scapular body, distal clavicle, and spinous process), or superficial soft tissue covering it. In this pictorial review, we describe the detailed anatomy of the supraspinous fossa. We have also covered imaging of wide range of pathologies that can affect supraspinous fossa such as paralabral cyst, muscle edema/atrophy, malignancies (primary and secondary), and miscellaneous lesions (myositis ossificans, fibromatosis, nerve sheath tumor, etc.). An awareness of the imaging findings of these entities is essential for a radiologist to avoid misinterpretation and can aid a timely diagnosis.

Abstract
High jump is a power-demanding motor task. Jumpers extend the take-off leg joints with maximum effort, but kinetic requirements (i.e. torque/power) for each joint are unclear. Here we show the inter-joint differences in the kinetic exertion related to the flight height in high jump trials by 16 male high jumpers (personal best record: 1.90-2.35 m). For the knee joint, both maximum net power and maximum norm of torque were significantly and positively correlated with flight height, with a stronger correlation for maximum net power (r = 0.70) than for maximum norm of torque (r = 0.52). For the hip joint, maximum norm of torque was significantly correlated with flight height (r = 0.62), but maximum net power (r = 0.36) was not. Both torque and power exhibited the proximal-to-distal sequence (from hip to ankle). The norm of ground reaction force peaked almost simultaneously with the hip torque while external net power peaked with knee power. We suggest that the required musculoskeletal function of each joint differs even in the same task. We suggest that it may be effective to adapt the different training programme between joints to improve performance. Jumpers should prioritise torque exertion for the hip and power exertion for the knee.

[PMID: 38831073 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-024-04365-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024]
Abstract
As the use of cross-sectional abdominal and pelvic imaging has increased exponentially in the past several decades, incidental musculoskeletal findings have become commonplace. These are often unrelated to the indication for the examination and are frequently referred to as the "radiologist's blind spot" on these studies. The differential diagnosis for abnormalities of the paraspinal and pelvic musculature is, in many cases, quite different from the anterior abdominal wall muscles. Furthermore, due to their relatively deep location, pathology involving the former muscle groups is more likely to be clinically occult, often presenting only incidentally when the patient undergoes cross-sectional imaging. Effective treatment of diseases of these muscles is dependent on adherence to a diverse set of diagnostic and treatment algorithms. The purpose of this review article is to familiarize the radiologist with the unique pathology of these often-overlooked muscles of the abdomen and pelvis.

Abstract
Along with clinical and laboratory findings, imaging has a significant role in the initial evaluation and treatment follow-up of a wide variety of infectious and non-infectious musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. The imaging findings of many non-infectious MSK processes, such as inflammatory, metabolic, and degenerative arthropathies, complications of diabetes mellitus, osseous and soft tissue injuries, osteonecrosis, tumors, and tumor-like lesions may be nonspecific and often overlap with those found in MSK infections. In this article, the authors discuss the imaging findings of both frequent and rare mimickers of MSK infections, including potential distinguishing characteristics.

Abstract
Tendon injuries are pervasive orthopedic injuries encountered by the general population. Nonetheless, recovery after severe injuries, such as Achilles tendon injury, is limited. Consequently, there is a pressing need to devise interventions, including biomaterials, that foster tendon healing. Regrettably, tissue engineering treatments have faced obstacles in crafting appropriate tissue scaffolds and efficacious nanomedical approaches. To surmount these hurdles, an innovative injectable hydrogel (CP@SiO2), comprising puerarin and chitosan through in situ self-assembly, is pioneered while concurrently delivering mesoporous silica nanoparticles for tendon healing. In this research, CP@SiO2 hydrogel is employed for the treatment of Achilles tendon injuries, conducting extensive in vivo and in vitro experiments to evaluate its efficacy. This reults demonstrates that CP@SiO2 hydrogel enhances the proliferation and differentiation of tendon-derived stem cells, and mitigates inflammation through the modulation of macrophage polarization. Furthermore, using histological and behavioral analyses, it is found that CP@SiO2 hydrogel can improve the histological and biomechanical properties of injured tendons. This findings indicate that this multifaceted injectable CP@SiO2 hydrogel constitutes a suitable bioactive material for tendon repair and presents a promising new strategy for the clinical management of tendon injuries.

Abstract
MRI plays a crucial role in assessment of patients with muscle injuries. The healing process of these injuries has been studied in depth from the pathophysiologic and histologic points of view and divided into destruction, repair, and remodeling phases, but the MRI findings of these phases have not been fully described, to our knowledge. On the basis of results from 310 MRI studies, including both basal and follow-up studies, in 128 athletes with muscle tears including their clinical evolution, the authors review MRI findings in muscle healing and propose a practical imaging classification based on morphology and signal intensity that correlates with histologic changes. The proposed phases, which can overlap, are destruction (phase 1), showing myoconnective tissue discontinuity and featherlike edema; repair (phase 2), showing filling in of the connective tissue gaps by a hypertrophic immature scar; and remodeling (phase 3), showing scar maturation and regression of the edema. A final healed stage can be identified with MRI, which is characterized by persistence of a slight fusiform thickening of the connective tissue. This information can be obtained from a truncated MRI protocol with three acquisitions, preferably performed with a 3-T magnet. During MRI follow-up of muscle injuries, other important features to be assessed are changes in muscle edema and specific warning signs, such as persistent intermuscular edema, new connective tear, and scar rupture. An understanding of the MRI appearance of normal and abnormal muscle healing and warning signs, along with cooperation with a multidisciplinary team, enable optimization of return to play for the injured athlete. ©RSNA, 2024 See the invited commentary by Flores in this issue.

Abstract
Myositis ossificans is delineated and distinguished by the generation and deposition of cartilaginous and osseous soft tissues. It generally occurs in the lower extremities and is caused by direct trauma. During the different developmental stages of maturation, the lesion has different radiological appearances that can be confused with sarcomas. Here, we present the case of a 38-year-old woman who presented to the outpatient clinic with a painful mass in the lateral chest wall that had rapidly expanded and increased in size. The patient had no history of trauma. Chest computed tomography revealed an intramuscular mass in the lateral chest wall; postcontrast images demonstrated heterogeneous enhancement and peripheral calcification. The patient was then referred to our center for subsequent assessment and examinations. Pathological examination findings confirmed the diagnosis of myositis ossificans. Surgical resection was performed after obtaining patient consent. The symptoms experienced by the patient were successfully relieved, and no evidence of recurrence was observed during the 2-year follow-up period. Knowledge of the atypical locations of myositis ossificans, calcification patterns at different stages, and radiopathological correlations can help accurately diagnose myositis ossificans and avoid unnecessary medical imaging and interventions.

Abstract
Radiologists are frequently called on for guidance regarding return to play (RTP) for athletes and active individuals after sustaining a musculoskeletal injury. Avoidance of reinjury is of particular importance throughout the rehabilitative process and following resumption of competitive activity. Understanding reinjury risk estimation, imaging patterns, and correlation of clinical and surgical findings will help prepare the radiologist to identify reinjuries correctly on diagnostic imaging studies and optimize management for a safe RTP.

Abstract
This review illustrates the imaging features of rhabdomyolysis across multiple modalities and in a variety of clinical scenarios. Rhabdomyolysis is the rapid breakdown of striated muscle following severe or prolonged insult resulting in the release of myocyte constituents into circulation. In turn, patients develop characteristically elevated serum creatine kinase, positive urine myoglobin, and other serum and urine laboratory derangements. While there is a spectrum of clinical symptoms, the classic presentation has been described as muscular pain, weakness, and dark urine. This triad, however, is only seen in about 10% of patients. Thus, when there is a high clinical suspicion, imaging can be valuable in evaluating the extent of muscular involvement, subsequent complications such as myonecrosis and muscular atrophy, and other etiologies or concurrent injuries causing musculoskeletal swelling and pain, especially in the setting of trauma. Sequela of rhabdomyolysis can be limb or life-threatening including compartment syndrome, renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. MRI, CT, ultrasound, and 18-FDG PET/CT are useful modalities in the evaluation of rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the significance of lumbrical muscle enhancement (LME) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Blinded to the diagnoses, contrast-enhanced bilateral hand MRIs of patients with suspected early RA between 2014 and 2019 were reviewed by two observers for the presence and degree (weak/strong) of LME. The presence of other inflammatory findings was also noted. The patients were then stratified into RA (n = 41), control (n = 31), and other arthritides groups(n = 28) based on their final diagnoses in the hospital records within the following 12 months. Categorical variables were compared by chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Differences among the groups were evaluated by one-way ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis tests. When the p-value from the Kruskal-Wallis test was statistically significant, multiple comparison test was used to identify group differences. Correlations between LME and flexor tenosynovitis were evaluated by Spearman rank correlation test. The agreement between two observers was assessed by Cohen's Kappa (κ) statistic. P-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. RESULTS There were 100 patients (88 females) with mean age of 47.2 ± 11.2. There were no significant differences for age or sex between groups (p = 0.17, p = 0.84, respectively). RA patients showed significantly more frequent (p < 0.001) and stronger LME (p = 0.001). There were no correlations between LME and flexor tenosynovitis (p > 0.05). Interrater agreement for the degree of LME on right and left sides was substantial (κ = 0.74, κ = 0.67, respectively). CONCLUSION RA patients demonstrated significantly more frequent and stronger LME with substantial interrater agreement. LME could constitute a subtle radiological clue for early RA.

Indirect Rectus Femoris Injury Mechanisms in Professional Soccer Players: Video Analysis and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings. Clin J Sport Med 2023; 33:475-482. [PMID: 36853900 PMCID: PMC10467807 DOI: 10.1097/jsm.0000000000001131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe injury mechanisms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in acute rectus femoris (RF) injuries of soccer players using a systematic video analysis. DESIGN Descriptive case series study of consecutive RF injuries from November 2017 to July 2022. SETTING Two specialized sports medicine hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Professional male soccer players aged between 18 and 40 years, referred for injury assessment within 7 days after a RF injury, with an available video footage of the injury and a positive finding on an MRI. INDEPENDENT VARIABLES Rectus femoris injury mechanisms (specific scoring based on standardized models) in relation to RF muscle injury MRI findings. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Rectus femoris injury mechanism (playing situation, player/opponent behavior, movement, and biomechanics), location of injury in MRI. RESULTS Twenty videos of RF injuries in 19 professional male soccer players were analyzed. Three different injury mechanisms were seen: kicking (80%), sprinting (10%), and change of direction (10%). Isolated single-tendon injuries were found in 60% of the injuries. Of the kicking injuries, 62.5% included complete tendon ruptures, whereas both running injuries and none of the change of direction injuries were complete ruptures. The direct tendon was involved in 33% of the isolated injuries, and the common tendon was affected in all combined injuries. CONCLUSIONS Rectus femoris injuries typically occur during kicking among football players. Most of the RF injuries involve a complete rupture of at least one tendon. Kicking injuries can also affect the supporting leg, and sprinting can cause a complete tendon rupture, whereas change of direction seems not to lead to complete ruptures.

Front Physiol 2023; 14:1241187. [PMID: 37621764 PMCID: PMC10444991 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1241187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Skeletal muscle injuries are widespread in sports, traffic accidents and natural disasters and some of them with poor prognoses can lead to chronic skeletal muscle damage in the clinic. We induced a chronic skeletal muscle injury by controlling time and contusion force using an acute blunt trauma model that will help us better comprehend the pathological features of chronic skeletal muscle injury. Methods: Several levels of injury were induced by repeatedly striking in 5, 10, and 15 times the gastrocnemius muscle from the same height with 200 g weights. After injury, the markers of muscle injury were assessed at 2 and 4 weeks by serum elisa. Electron microscopy, histologic and immunohistochemical staining, and mRNA analysis were used to evaluate the ultrastructure, inflammation, extracellular matrix decomposition, and anabolism of injured muscle in 2 and 4 weeks. Results: All three different kinetic energies can result in skeletal muscle injuries. However, the injured skeletal muscles of rats in each group could not recover within 2 weeks. After 4 weeks, tissue self-repair and reconstruction caused the damage induced by 5 J kinetic energy to almost return to normal. In contrast, damage induced by 10 J kinetic energy displayed slight improvement compared to that at 2 weeks. Despite this, collagen fibers on the surface of the tissue were disorganized, directionally ambiguous, and intertwined with each other. Myofilaments within the tissue were also arranged disorderly, with blurry and broken Z-lines. Damage caused by 15 J kinetic energy was the most severe and displayed no improvements at 4 weeks compared to 2 weeks. At 4 weeks, IL-1β, IL-6, Collagen I, and Collagen III, MMP2 expressions in the 10 J group were lower than those at 2 weeks, showing a tendency towards injury stabilization. Conclusion: After 4 weeks of remodeling and repair, the acute skeletal muscle injury model induced by 10 J kinetic energy can stabilize pathological manifestations, inflammatory expression, and extracellular matrix synthesis and catabolism, making it an appropriate model for studying chronic skeletal muscle injuries caused by acute injury.

Abstract
Severe spinal trauma is uncommon in the pediatric population, but due to the potentially devastating consequences of missed injury, it poses a diagnostic challenge in emergency departments. Diagnostic imaging is often needed to exclude or confirm the injury and to assess its extent. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers an excellent view of both bony and soft tissue structures and their traumatic findings without exposing children to ionizing radiation. Our pictorial review aims to demonstrate the typical traumatic findings, physiological phenomena, and potential pitfalls of emergency MRI in the trauma of the growing spine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the injury mechanisms and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in acute hamstring injuries of male soccer players using a systematic video analysis. DESIGN Descriptive case series study of consecutive acute hamstring injuries from September 2017 to January 2022. SETTING Two specialized sports medicine hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Professional male soccer players aged between 18 and 40 years, referred for injury assessment within 7 days after an acute hamstring injury, with an available video footage of the injury and positive finding on MRI. INDEPENDENT VARIABLES Hamstring injury mechanisms (specific scoring based on standardized models) in relation to hamstring muscle injury MRI findings. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Hamstring injury mechanism (playing situation, player/opponent behavior, movement, and biomechanical body positions) and MRI injury location. RESULTS Fourteen videos of acute hamstring injuries in 13 professional male soccer players were analyzed. Three different injury mechanisms were seen: mixed-type (both sprint-related and stretch-related, 43%), stretch-type (36%), and sprint-type (21%). Most common actions during injury moments were change of direction (29%), kicking (29%), and running (21%). Most injuries occurred at high or very high horizontal speed (71%) and affected isolated proximal biceps femoris (BF) (36%). Most frequent body positions at defined injury moments were neutral trunk (43%), hip flexion 45-90 degrees (57%), and knee flexion <45 degrees (93%). Magnetic resonance imaging findings showed that 79% were isolated single-tendon injuries. CONCLUSIONS According to a video analysis, most hamstring injuries in soccer occur during high-speed movements. Physicians should suspect proximal and isolated single-tendon-most often BF-hamstring injury, if represented injury mechanisms are seen during game play. In addition to sprinting and stretching, also mixed-type injury mechanisms occur.

Abstract
Damage to the fascia can cause significant performance deficits in high-performance sports and recreational exercise and may contribute to the development of musculoskeletal disorders and persistent potential pain. The fascia is widely distributed from head to toe, encompassing muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves, and internal organs and comprising various layers of different depths, indicating the complexity of its pathogenesis. It is a connective tissue composed of irregularly arranged collagen fibers, distinctly different from the regularly arranged collagen fibers found in tendons, ligaments, or periosteum, and mechanical changes in the fascia (stiffness or tension) can produce changes in its connective tissue that can cause pain. While these mechanical changes induce inflammation associated with mechanical loading, they are also affected by biochemical influences such as aging, sex hormones, and obesity. Therefore, this paper will review the current state of knowledge on the molecular level response to the mechanical properties of the fascia and its response to other physiological challenges, including mechanical changes, innervation, injury, and aging; imaging techniques available to study the fascial system; and therapeutic interventions targeting fascial tissue in sports medicine. This article aims to summarize contemporary views.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This paper aims to: (1) document a rare femoral heterotopic ossification (HO), and (2) discuss its aetiology and impact on the individual's locomotion and daily living activities. MATERIALS Adult female skeleton (SG.14-SK.7) from the village of Constância (Portugal), and dated from the 14th-19th centuries CE. METHODS The biological profile and the macroscopic analysis of the bone changes were assessed using standardized methods. RESULTS The macroscopic analysis revealed a large bony mass (8 cm length) located immediately inferior to the small trochanter of the right femur. The lesion exhibited a compact, tubular appearance located at the site of attachment of the pectineus muscle. No signs of bone fracture were observed. CONCLUSIONS The morphology of the SG.14-SK.7 femoral lesion is compatible with a probable case of myositis ossificans traumatica (MOT), secondary to acute trauma of the pectineus muscle. The underlying trauma episode, such as random accidental and/or occupation-related injury, is unknown. However, it is highly possible that this self-limiting condition significantly impaired the individual's daily life and mobility. SIGNIFICANCE Evidence of severe acute muscle trauma is a rare finding compared with HO secondary to bone trauma and other minor muscle injuries. Moreover, no cases of MOT affecting the pectineus muscle have been reported in the paleopathological literature to date. LIMITATIONS Although unlikely, a case of neurogenic or burn-related HO cannot be completely disregarded. It was not possible to undertake radiography as part of this study. SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH The use of imaging techniques to complement the paleopathological description is advised.

Abstract
Acute hip pain following injury more commonly originates locally in and around the hip joint rather than being referred from the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joints, groin, or pelvis. Clinical assessment can usually localize the pain source to the hip region. Thereafter, imaging helps define the precise cause of acute hip pain. This review discusses the imaging of common causes of acute hip pain following injury in adults, addressing injuries in and around the hip joint. Pediatric and postsurgical causes of hip pain following injury are not discussed.

Abstract
Ultrasound (US) and MR imaging are the most common imaging modalities used to assess sports muscle injuries. The site of the muscle injury can be located at the peripheral aspect of the muscle (myofascial), within the muscle belly (musculotendinous), and with tendon involvement (intratendinous). Tears that affect the intramuscular tendon have a worse prognosis in terms of recovery time. US is an excellent method to evaluate muscle injuries, with high spatial and contrast resolution. MR imaging can be reserved for evaluation of professional athletes, surgical planning, differential diagnosis, and assessment of deep located and proximal muscle groups.

Abstract
This review illustrates the multimodality assessment of transfascial muscle and other soft tissue herniations of the extremities. Transfascial herniations of the extremities can develop from congenital or acquired disruptions of the deep fascia, resulting in herniation of the underlying muscle, nerve, or soft tissue tumor into the subcutaneous tissues. While most patients present with a painless subcutaneous nodule that may change in size with muscle activation, some may experience focal or diffuse extremity symptoms such as pain and paresthesias. Although the diagnosis may be clinically suspected, radiologic evaluation is useful for definitive diagnosis and characterization. Ultrasound is the preferred modality for initial workup through a focused and dynamic examination. Magnetic resonance imaging can be utilized for equivocal, complicated, and preoperative cases. Computed tomography is less useful in the evaluation of transfascial herniations in the extremities due to similarities in the attenuation between muscle and fascia, which can decrease the conspicuity of small defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE The rectus femoris has three myotendinous or myoaponeurosis junctions and causes three types of muscle strain anatomically. We aimed to investigate the anatomical injury site of the rectus femoris muscle strain in professional soccer players as well as the characteristic findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to evaluate its relationship with the time taken to return to play at competition levels. METHODS Thirteen Japanese professional soccer players who sustained injuries to the rectus femoris were included in this study. The mechanism of injury, anatomical injury site, severity, absence of hematomas, and time taken to return to competition were evaluated. RESULTS Ten patients were injured while kicking and three while sprinting. The anatomical injury site was the origin aponeurosis in two cases, intramuscular tendon in eight cases, and distal aponeurosis in three cases. The severity was one-degree in three cases and two-degree in 10 cases. Hematomas were observed in five cases. Cases with injuries caused by sprinting, two-degree injuries, or clear hematomas were associated with significantly longer periods of return to play than the other cases. Additionally, patients with distal aponeurosis-type injuries tended to take a long time to return to the competition. CONCLUSIONS In rectus femoris muscle strain, it is important to evaluate the anatomical injury site, severity, and absence of hematomas on MRI. Not only the injury mechanism, a clear hematoma, and high severity but also distal aponeurosis injuries may be associated with long periods of return to play at competition levels.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:1055668. [PMID: 36452210 PMCID: PMC9701740 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1055668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/28/2022] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Skeletal muscle impact injury occurs frequently during sports, falls, and road traffic accidents. From the reported studies on skeletal muscle injury, it is difficult to determine the injury parameters. Therefore, we developed a new model of gastrocnemius impact injury in rats with a bioimpact machine, with which the experimental operation could be conducted in feasibility from the recorded parameters. Through this novel model, we study the skeletal muscle impact injury mechanisms by combining temporal and spatial variation. Methods: The gastrocnemius of anesthetized rats was injured by a small pneumatic-driven bioimpact machine; the moving speed and impact force were determined, and the whole impact process was captured by a high-speed camera. We observed the general condition of rats and measured the changes in injured calf circumference, evaluating calf injuries using MRI, gait analysis system, and pathology at different times after the injury. Results: The gastrocnemius was injured at an impact speed of 6.63 m/s ± 0.25 m/s and a peak force of 1,556.80 N ± 110.79 N. The gait analysis system showed that the footprint area of the RH limb decreased significantly on the first day and then increased. The calf circumference of the injured limb increased rapidly on the first day post-injury and then decreased in the next few days. MRI showed edema of subcutaneous and gastrocnemius on the first day, and the area of edema decreased over the following days. HE staining showed edema of cells, extensive hyperemia of blood vessels, and infiltration of inflammatory cells on the first day. Cell edema was alleviated day by day, but inflammatory cell infiltration was the most on the third day. TEM showed that the sarcoplasmic reticulum was dilated on the first day, the mitochondrial vacuolation was obvious on the second day, and the glycogen deposition was prominent on the fifth day. Conclusion: In our experiment, we developed a new and effective experimental animal model that was feasible to operate; the injured area of the gastrocnemius began to show "map-like" changes in the light microscope on the third day. Meanwhile, the gastrocnemius showed a trend of "edema-mitochondrial vacuolation-inflammatory cell aggregation" after impact injury.

Differences in lumbar paraspinal muscle morphology in patients with sagittal malalignment undergoing posterior lumbar fusion surgery. EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2022; 31:3109-3118.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether (1) there is a difference between patients with normal or sagittal spinal and spinopelvic malalignment in terms of their paraspinal muscle composition and (2) if sagittal malalignment can be predicted using muscle parameters. METHODS A retrospective review of patients undergoing posterior lumbar fusion surgery was conducted. A MRI-based muscle measurement technique was used to assess the cross-sectional area, the functional cross-sectional area, the intramuscular fat and fat infiltration (FI) for the psoas and the posterior paraspinal muscles (PPM). Intervertebral disc degeneration was graded for levels L1 to S1. Sagittal vertical axis (SVA; ≥ 50 mm defined as spinal malalignment), pelvic incidence (PI) and lumbar lordosis (LL) were measured, and PI-LL mismatch (PI-LL; ≥ 10° defined as spinopelvic malalignment) was calculated. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to determine the specificity and sensitivity of the FIPPM for predicting sagittal malalignment. RESULTS One hundred and fifty patients were analysed. The PI-LL and SVA malalignment groups were found to have a significantly higher FIPPM (PI-LL:47.0 vs. 42.1%; p = 0.019; SVA: 47.7 vs. 41.8%; p = 0.040). ROC analysis predicted sagittal spinal malalignment using FIPPM (cut-off value 42.69%) with a sensitivity of 73.4% and a specificity of 54.1% with an area under the curve of 0.662. CONCLUSION Significant differences in the muscle composition between normal and malalignment groups with respect to FIPPM in both sagittal spinal and spinopelvic alignment were found. This work underlines the imminent impact of the paraspinal musculature on the sagittal alignment.

Abstract
Diagnostic radiology is essential for providing targeted management of different diseases. Thus, there has been a dramatic increase in the demand for medical imaging. However, acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is one of the clinical scenarios in which radiology has limited value. The authors report a nontraumatic spontaneous ACS in the forearm of a 56-year-old female. The roles of Ultrasound and MRI, if available, are also illustrated. Limited reports of spontaneous ACS are published in the literature; we hope this case adds to the limited data. Our goal in reporting this case is to improve clinical practice with favorable outcomes for the patients involved globally by alert to the onset of ACS to promote early detection and timely fasciotomy. Also, we aim to increase awareness among physicians and radiologists of the limitations of radiology in specific clinical scenarios. Finally, it may aid in illuminating a possible link between malignant hypertension, spontaneous bleeding/hematoma, and ACS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The current lack of agreement regarding standardized terminology in musculoskeletal and sports ultrasound presents challenges in education, clinical practice, and research. This consensus was developed to provide a reference to improve clarity and consistency in communication. METHODS A multidisciplinary expert panel was convened consisting of 18 members representing multiple specialty societies identified as key stakeholders in musculoskeletal and sports ultrasound. A Delphi process was used to reach consensus which was defined as group level agreement >80%. RESULTS Content was organized into seven general topics including: 1) General Definitions, 2) Equipment and Transducer Manipulation, 3) Anatomic and Descriptive Terminology, 4) Pathology, 5) Procedural Terminology, 6) Image Labeling, and 7) Documentation. Terms and definitions which reached consensus agreement are presented herein. CONCLUSIONS The historic use of multiple similar terms in the absence of precise definitions has led to confusion when conveying information between colleagues, patients, and third-party payers. This multidisciplinary expert consensus addresses multiple areas of variability in diagnostic ultrasound imaging and ultrasound-guided procedures related to musculoskeletal and sports medicine.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2022; 108:103356. [PMID: 35724839 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2022.103356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total hip arthroplasty (THA) on a minimally invasive anterolateral (MIAL) approach frequently leads to gluteus minimus and gluteus medius lesions, and sometimes to tensor fasciae latae (TFL) denervation. We therefore developed compensatory strategies, which we assessed on pre- and post-operative MRI: 1) to assess gluteus minimus and gluteus medius fatty infiltration (FI), 2) to assess TFL FI, and 3) to assess FI in the other periarticular muscles. HYPOTHESIS The modified MIAL approach reduces the rate of gluteus minimus and gluteus medius lesion. MATERIALS AND METHODS A continuous prospective single-surgeon series of THA using a MIAL approach included 25 patients. Femoral implantation was performed with the hip in extension so as to distance the proximal femur from the gluteals, avoiding muscle trauma. The superior gluteal nerve branch in the space between the gluteus medius and TFL, running toward the TFL, was systematically released and protected. MRI was performed preoperatively and at 3 months and 1 year post-surgery. FI was analyzed according to the Goutallier classification in all periarticular muscles. RESULTS One patient lacked preoperative MRI and was excluded, leaving 24 patients, for 72 MRIs. In 10/24 patients (41.7%) the gluteus minimus and in 8/24 patients (33.3%) the anterior third of the gluteus medius showed ≥2 grade increase in FI between preoperative and 1-year MRI, with significant increases in both at 3 months (p<0.001) and 1 year (p<0.001). At least a 2 grade increase in FI at 1 year was seen in 1 patient (4.2%) in the TFL, in 2 (8.3%) in the piriformis, and in 1 (4.2%) in the obturator internus. There were no significant differences in FI between preoperative, 3-month or 1-year MRI in any other periarticular muscles. CONCLUSION Femoral implantation in hip extension did not reduce the rate of gluteal lesions, which remained frequent. In contrast, release of the superior gluteal nerve branch could be effective in conserving TFL innervation. Some rare lesions of the proximal part of the pelvi-trochanteric muscles were also observed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, Prospective case series.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive approaches (direct anterior approach: DAA; minimally invasive anterolateral: MIAL; piriformis-sparing posterior approach: PSPA) are widely used for total hip arthroplasty (THA), with a muscle-sparing objective. There are no published comparative studies of muscle damage secondary to these approaches. The aim of the present study was to compare fatty infiltration (FI) on MRI induced by DAA, MIAL and PSPA in THA 1) in the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) and sartorius muscles, 2) in the gluteal muscles, and 3) in the pelvitrochanteric muscles. HYPOTHESIS Greater FI is induced by DAA in anterior muscles, by MIAL in gluteal muscles and by PSPA in pelvitrochanteric muscles. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three continuous prospective series of THA by DAA, MIAL and PSPA included 25 patients each. MRI was performed preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively. FI was graded on the Goutallier classification in all periarticular hip muscles. Muscles showing ≥2 grade aggravation at 1 year were considered damaged. RESULTS Nine patients whose preoperative MRI was uninterpretable were excluded. In all, 66 patients (21 DAA, 24 MIAL and 21 PSPA) with 132 MRI scans were analyzed. TFL was damaged in 2/21 DAA patients (9.5%), 1/24 MIAL patients (4.2%) and 0/21 PSPA patients (0%). There were no sartorius lesions. The anterior third of the gluteus medius was damaged in 8/24 MIAL patients (33.3%) and the gluteus minimus in 10/24 (41.7%), compared to 1/21 DAA patients (4.8%) and 0/21 PSPA patients (0%). The mid and posterior thirds of the gluteus medius and the gluteus maximus were never damaged. The piriformis muscle was damaged in 3/21 DAA patients (14.3%), 2/24 MIAL patients (8.3%) and 2/21 PSPA patients (9.5%). The obturator internus was damaged in 4/21 DAA patients (19%), 1/24 MIAL patients (4.2%) and 16/21 PSPA patients (76.2%). The obturator externus and quadratus femoris were mainly damaged in PSPA patients: respectively, 5/21 (23.8%) and 4/21 patients (19%)). CONCLUSION The muscle-sparing properties of minimally invasive hip approaches are only theoretical. In the present series, there were rare TFL lesions with DAA and MIAL. Gluteus medius and minimus lesions were frequent in MIAL. Pelvitrochanteric muscles lesions were more frequent in PSPA, but found in all 3 approaches. These findings should help guide surgeons in their choice of approach and in informing patients about the damage these minimally invasive approaches can cause.

Abstract
AbstractAcute shoulder tendon and intra-articular injuries are common and their imaging well described. However, a subset of patients present with more unusual acute shoulder muscle injury. Of these, pectoralis major muscle injuries are encountered the most often and are increasingly prevalent due to a focus on personal fitness, particularly bench-press exercises. Other muscle injuries around the shoulder are rare. This article reviews the anatomy, mechanism of injury, and the imaging findings in relation to injuries of these muscles around the shoulder. We focus on pectoralis major injury but also review proximal triceps, latissimus dorsi, teres major, and deltoid muscle injuries, providing imaging examples.

Abstract
Muscle injuries caused by indirect trauma during exercise are common. Most of these injuries can be managed conservatively; however, further treatment is required in extreme cases. Although transcatheter arterial embolization is a possible treatment modality, its role in traumatic muscle injuries remains unclear. In this case series, we present three cases of exercise-induced muscle hemorrhage treated by transcatheter arterial embolization with successful outcomes. The damaged muscles were the rectus abdominis, adductor longus, and iliopsoas, and the vascular injuries were accessed via the femoral artery during the procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The role of the plantaris muscle (PM) in the literature is not clear. The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) to study PM at the interface between the medial gastrocnemius and soleus muscle in a cadaveric series, (2) to compare anatomic results with ultrasound (US) in the general population, and (3) to identify the potential role of the PM in the genesis of tennis leg (TL) injury. METHODS First, a cadaveric study was undertaken on six cadavers for descriptive and functional PM anatomy. Second, US evaluation was carried out for 670 calves in 335 subjects with no suspicion of a clinical tear in the thigh or calf muscle (group 1) and for 89 calves in 89 patients with tear symptoms (group 2). Study criteria were the presence or absence of PM tendon and the width measurement if present. RESULTS The PM was present in all cadavers. Traction on the tendon showed its "limited" mobility due to the connective tissue adherence mentioned with no apparent gliding of PM, promoting TL injury. In US, 37 PM were absent (4.35%) in 23 subjects. PM tendon width measurement of group 1 and group 2 was, respectively, 3.93 + / - 1.10 mm and 3.96 + / - 1.10 mm. No statistically significant differences between width measurements were found according to side (P = 0.74) or group (P = 0.69). Significant differences in width were only found between genders in group 1 (P = 0.014). CONCLUSION PM were absent in 4.35% population. The contraction of PM can promote tennis leg injury by increasing the shear forces at the level of the distal inter-aponeurotic region.

Abstract
Soft tissue lesions are commonly encountered and imaging is an important diagnostic step in the diagnosis and management of these lesions. While some of these lesions are true neoplasms, others are not. These soft tissue tumor mimickers can be due to a variety of conditions including traumatic, iatrogenic, inflammatory/reactive, infection, vascular, and variant anatomy. It is important for the radiologist and clinician to be aware of these common soft tissue tumor mimickers and their characteristic imaging features to avoid unnecessary workup and provide the best treatment outcome.

Abstract
The bony pelvis serves as the attachment site for a large number of powerful muscles and tendons that drive lower extremity movement. Organizing the pelvic tendons into groups that share a common function and anatomic location helps the radiologist systematically evaluate these structures for injury, which can be caused by repetitive stress, acute trauma, or failure of degenerated tissues. Tears of the anteromedial adductors around the pubic symphysis and anterior flexors traversing anterior to the hip principally affect younger male athletes. Tears of the lateral abductors and posterior extensors are more common in older individuals with senescent tendinosis. The deep external rotators are protected and rarely injured, although they can be impinged. Imaging of the pelvic tendons relies primarily on US and MRI; both provide high spatial and contrast resolution for soft tissues. US offers affordable point-of-care service and dynamic assessment, while MRI allows simultaneous osseous and articular evaluation and is less operator dependent. While the imaging findings of pelvic tendon injury mirror those at appendicular body sites, radiologists may be less familiar with tendon anatomy and pathologic conditions at the pelvis. The authors review pertinent anatomy and imaging considerations and illustrate common injuries affecting the pelvic tendons. Online supplemental material is available for this article. ©RSNA, 2022.

Abstract
Severe inflammation and myogenic differentiation disorder are the major obstacles to skeletal muscle healing after injury. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role as regulatory molecules during the process of muscle healing, but the detailed mechanism of miRNA-mediated intercellular communication between myoblasts and macrophages remains unclear. Here, it is reported that myoblasts secrete miRNAs-enriched exosomes in the inflammatory environment, through which miR-224 is transferred into macrophages to inhibit M2 polarization. Further data demonstrate that WNT-9a may be a direct target of miR-224 for macrophage polarization. In turn, the secretome of M1 macrophages impairs myogenic differentiation and promotes proliferation. Single-cell integration analysis suggests that the elevation of exosome-derived miR-224 is caused by the activation of the key factor E2F1 in myoblasts and demonstrates the RB/E2F1/miR-224/WNT-9a axis. In vivo results show that treatment with antagomir-224 or liposomes containing miR-224 inhibitors suppresses fibrosis and improves muscle recovery. These findings indicate the importance of the crosstalk between myoblasts and macrophages via miRNA-containing exosomes in the regulation of macrophage polarization and myogenic differentiation/proliferation during muscle healing. This study provides a strategy for treating muscle injury through designing an M2 polarization-enabling anti-inflammatory and miRNA-based bioactive material.

Abstract
A male 10-year-old captive red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) was presented with a chronic progressive pelvic limb lameness and reluctance to jump. The general examination revealed a palpable induration of the lumbar epaxial muscles. Magnetic resonance imaging performed under general anesthesia revealed bilateral almost symmetric, well-circumscribed mass lesions in superficial erector spinae muscles. The lesions had irregular to multilobulated appearance with hyper-, hypo-, and isointense areas in T2- and T1-weighted (w) sequences without contrast enhancement. On computed tomography, a peripheral rim of mineralization was apparent. Histopathological analysis of a muscle biopsy showed osseous trabeculae with rare clusters of chondrocytes indicating metaplasia of muscle tissue to bone. No indications of inflammation or malignancy were visible. The clinical, histopathological, and imaging workup of this case was consistent with myositis ossificans circumscripta. This disorder is particularly well-known among human professional athletes such as basketball players, where excessive, chronic-repetitive force or blunt trauma causes microtrauma to the musculature. Metaplasia of muscle tissue due to abnormal regeneration processes causes heterotopic ossification. The kangaroo's clinical signs improved with cyto-reductive surgery, cage rest, weight reduction, and meloxicam without further relapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fractures following trauma affect physical and mental health for working-age persons, and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) can help therapists understand the fractures' impact on daily lives. PURPOSE To examine self-reported functioning and outcomes six months after upper and lower body fractures and compare limitations using the ICF. METHODS Data were collected from 160 patients with fractures as part of a prospective cohort study. The primary outcome measure was the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment questionnaire that covers all domains of the ICF. Moreover, sick leave, sense of coherence, and physical activity were reported. RESULTS Six months after the injury, function had improved significantly, but patients reported problems on all domains in the ICF with few differences between the upper and lower body groups. Leisure activities caused problems for 63 (38.8%) of the patients and bothered 86 (53.8%). Problems performing work bothered 63 (39.4%) with no significant difference between the groups, although a significantly higher proportion in the upper body group had returned to work within two months (p < .001). CONCLUSION Six months after fractures, adults reported problems on all ICF domains, especially on the participation dimension, which therapists should address in the rehabilitation process.

Abstract
The current lack of agreement regarding standardised terminology in musculoskeletal and sports ultrasound presents challenges in education, clinical practice and research. This consensus was developed to provide a reference to improve clarity and consistency in communication. A multidisciplinary expert panel was convened consisting of 18 members representing multiple specialty societies identified as key stakeholders in musculoskeletal and sports ultrasound. A Delphi process was used to reach consensus, which was defined as group level agreement of >80%. Content was organised into seven general topics including: (1) general definitions, (2) equipment and transducer manipulation, (3) anatomical and descriptive terminology, (4) pathology, (5) procedural terminology, (6) image labelling and (7) documentation. Terms and definitions which reached consensus agreement are presented herein. The historic use of multiple similar terms in the absence of precise definitions has led to confusion when conveying information between colleagues, patients and third-party payers. This multidisciplinary expert consensus addresses multiple areas of variability in diagnostic ultrasound imaging and ultrasound-guided procedures related to musculoskeletal and sports medicine.

Abstract
Periarticular calcification and ossification is a frequent finding on imaging and may sometimes pose a diagnostic challenge. The differential diagnoses for this radiological finding are wide and can be classified into broad groups such as idiopathic, developmental, trauma, burns, infection, tumor, connective tissue disease, crystalline, metabolic, vascular, and foreign bodies. With careful consideration of the clinical and imaging findings as well as awareness of mimickers of periarticular mineralization, the list of differential diagnoses can be narrowed down. This article aims to review the clinical-radiologic findings of periarticular calcified or ossified lesions with relevant imaging illustrations.

Abstract
Hockey is a fast-paced contact sport with a high incidence of injuries. Although injuries are more frequent among elite players, recreational hockey injuries are a common issue faced by primary care and emergency physicians. Lower extremity injuries in hockey are particularly important because they account for approximately a third of all injuries and > 60% of all overuse injuries. This pictorial review provides the general and specialty trained radiologist with a knowledge of the patterns of lower extremity injury that occur in ice hockey.
