Abstract

The quadriceps muscles are a large group of four muscles in the anterior compartment of the thigh, comprising the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and vastus lateralis, which in combination act as the primary extensors of the knee joint. The rectus femoris is also responsible for hip joint flexion. Quadriceps muscle injuries are frequently encountered in sports and athletic activities, and present a significant challenge in the realm of sports medicine, impacting athletes across various disciplines and levels of competition. A spectrum of sporting injuries and imaging findings can affect this muscle group, including strains and tears, avulsions, contusions, degloving injuries, and exercise related signal abnormalities (ERSA). A thorough understanding of these various pathologies and imaging features is crucial to guide appropriate diagnosis, management and rehabilitation, as well as ensure safe and prompt return to play, minimise risk of re-injury or long term adverse sequela, optimise performance and improve career longevity of these athletes. This comprehensive review article aims to review the unique anatomy of the quadriceps muscle group and integrate current knowledge of the various forms of sporting injuries affecting it, with a specific emphasis on the imaging features.

运动员股四头肌损伤:综述。
股四头肌是位于大腿前房室的一组由四块肌肉组成的大群,包括股直肌、股内侧肌、股中间肌和股外侧肌,它们共同作用于膝关节的主要伸肌。股直肌也负责髋关节屈曲。股四头肌损伤是运动和竞技活动中经常遇到的问题,是运动医学领域的一个重大挑战,影响着不同学科和水平的运动员。一系列运动损伤和影像学表现可影响该肌肉群,包括拉伤、撕裂、撕脱、挫伤、脱手套损伤和运动相关信号异常(ERSA)。全面了解这些不同的病理和影像学特征对于指导适当的诊断、管理和康复,以及确保安全和迅速地恢复比赛,最大限度地减少再次受伤或长期不良后遗症的风险,优化运动员的表现和延长运动员的职业生涯寿命至关重要。这篇全面的综述文章旨在回顾股四头肌群的独特解剖结构,并整合当前影响它的各种形式的运动损伤的知识,特别强调影像学特征。
