Ara Kassarjian: MRI of the Rectus Femoris - PRP
•
4 likes•2,526 views
This document discusses MRI of injuries to the rectus femoris muscle. It begins with imaging technique recommendations, including using T1, T2, STIR and GRE sequences. It then reviews the anatomy of the rectus femoris. Common injuries in the skeletally immature include apophysitis and avulsion injuries. In skeletally mature patients, injuries often occur at the myotendinous junction or myofascial junction. Various injury patterns like direct tears, indirect tears and intra-muscular degloving injuries are depicted. Potential sequelae from injuries like scarring, heterotopic ossification and subspine impingement are also reviewed.

- Fig. 8. (a) Axial fat suppressed T2-weighted image of a female professional European football (soccer) goalie shows myofascial disruption along the posterolateral margin of the middle third of the rectus femoris (thick white arrow). Fluid is seen tracking along the fascia and the belly of the muscle (open arrows). This injury was sustained while kicking the ball. There is also evidence of a small scar from prior myotendinous injury (long thin arrow). (b) Axial T1 weighted (b1) and T2 weighted (b2) images of another professional European football (soccer) player show a posterior myofascial injury (arrow) with fluid accumulating between the posterior muscle fibers and the fascia. This injury was sustained during a sprint.
