Reason: Right femur pain, evaluate for cause History: pain There is increased signal intensity along the myotendinous junction, centrally, within the rectus femoris at the level of the mid to distal femoral diaphysis compatible with a strain as well as a small but elongated intramuscular hematoma. The distal quadriceps tendon appears intact. The origin of the rectus femoris is not included on the field-of-view of the study, but we see no edema within the muscle proximally to suggest a proximal injury. The remainder of the imaged musculature of the right thigh is normal in appearance. The signal intensity of the femoral diaphysis is normal. The head of the femur as well as the distal articular surface of the femur are not included in their entirety on the field-of-view of this study.
Myotendinous strain injury of the rectus femoris with small intramuscular hematoma.
