Thigh Injuries
Skin Lacerations: local
treatment, prevent infection
Penetrating injuries : Local treatment, prevent infection, ascertain no bony injury or serious deep injury to muscle, or neurovascular structures

Thigh injuries
Quadriceps Muscle strain Quadriceps tendinitis Rupture of the quad tendon Most common in older individuals and in young
athletes In a young athlete can represent an avulsion
fracture Operative repair
![Page 6: Thigh Injuries - American College of Sports Medicineforms.acsm.org/TPC/PDFs/10 Ott.pdfThigh Injuries Case 1 : 16 year old wrestler presents to the clinic with a cc of “knee pain”.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040321/5e57009b2a6ade4bb615dcda/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Thigh Injuries
Quadriceps Rupture In a young athlete is usually an avulsion
from the proximal or distal pole of the patella “sleeve” fracture Older athletes tendinous rupture Will be unable to do a straight raise or
extend the knee Requires operative repair

Thigh injuries
Quadriceps : Muscle strain Most common areas of injury are
musculotendinous junctions proximally and distally Muscle belly can also be injured Treatment with RICE Can take weeks to get over Less common than hamstring injuries

Thigh injuries
Contusions Common especially in
football Thigh guards helpful
prevention Can result in mysoitis
ossificans Risk for thigh
compartment syndrome Posterior contusion less
common

Thigh injuries
Quadriceps : Contusion, Deep Blow to the thigh Can lead to compartment syndrome Can cause muscle fiber rupture, disruption
of connective tissue and hematoma formation Immobilize in 120 degrees of flexion Apply ice
![Page 10: Thigh Injuries - American College of Sports Medicineforms.acsm.org/TPC/PDFs/10 Ott.pdfThigh Injuries Case 1 : 16 year old wrestler presents to the clinic with a cc of “knee pain”.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040321/5e57009b2a6ade4bb615dcda/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Thigh injuries
Quadriceps : Contusion Continue 120
degrees of flexion for first 24 hours
Begin stretching and strengthening
Do not apply heat Risk of myositis
ossificans

Thigh Injuries
Muscular injuries : Hamstring avulsion In Skeletally immature athletes avulsion form
the apophysis of the ischial tuberosity and can be treated conservatively most often Sometimes require surgical repair, most
often in adults

Thigh Injuries
Muscular injuries : Hamstring avulsion Complete rupture unrepaired can go on to
significant functional disability Some studies show better results with early
intervention and others so no difference between those repaired acutely versus chronically Often missed

Thigh Injuries
Compartment syndrome Thigh compartments Anterior : quadriceps, femoral nerve and artery Posterior : hamstrings, sciatic nerve Medial : addutors, cutaneous branch of the
obturator nerve Less common than compartment syndrome
of the calf/leg as there is more space in the compartments of the thigh

often need skin grafting Fewer complications in those with
compartment syndrome without fracture
