Although the injury pattern of the muscle belly is well documented, less is known about the anatomy and specific lesions of the proximal tendons. The rectus femoris is the most commonly injured muscle of the anterior thigh among athletes, especially soccer players. Pesquer, Lionel Poussange, Nicolas Meyer, Philippe Dallaudiere, Benjamin Feldis, Matthieu [Clinique du Sport de Bordeaux, Centre d' Imagerie Osteo-articulaire, Merignac (France) Sonnery-Cottet, Bertrand [Groupe Ramsay Generale de Sante - Hopital Prive Jean Mermoz, Centre Orthopedique Santy, Lyon (France) Graveleau, Nicolas [Clinique du Sport de Bordeaux, Centre de Chirurgie Orthopedique et Sportive, Merignac (France) Imaging of rectus femoris proximal tendinopathiesĮnergy Technology Data Exchange (ETDEWEB) Thus, MR imaging of patients with cerebral palsy after rectus femoris transfer and hamstring-lengthening surgery shows evidence of signal intensity and contour changes, even several years after surgery.
This was not observed in the non-surgical subjects. Eight of the ten post-surgical limbs showed evidence of fluid near or around the transferred or lengthened tendons. MR imaging demonstrated irregular areas of low signal intensity near the transferred rectus femoris and around the hamstrings in all subjects. The models showed that the path of the transferred rectus femoris tendon had a marked angular deviation near the transfer site in all cases. MR images of the transferred and lengthened tendons were examined and compared with images from ten non-surgical subjects.
Three-dimensional models of the path of the transferred tendon were constructed in all cases. We describe the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging appearance of the knee flexor and extensor tendons after bilateral rectus femoris transfer and hamstring lengthening surgery in five patients (10 limbs) with cerebral palsy.
