The patient was a 69-year-old recreational golfer who injured his right . While walking between the 9th and 18th holes, he slipped on pine straw. Ultrasound images of the quadriceps tendon post-injury revealed a full-thickness tear of the Quadriceps tendon, Rectus Femoris and Vastus intermedius. The diagnosis was confirmed through MRI arthrogram imaging. The hypoechoic finding in the ultrasound exam demonstrated the imaging to be as precise in diagnosing a full thickness tear as the MRI. The patient underwent surgical repair of the Quadriceps Tendon and is currently progressing in rehabilitation.
患者是一名69岁的业余高尔夫球手,其右膝受伤。在第9洞和第18洞之间行走时,他踩到松针滑倒了。股四头肌肌腱损伤后的超声图像显示股四头肌肌腱、股直肌和股中间肌出现全层撕裂。通过磁共振关节造影成像确诊。超声检查中的低回声表现表明该成像在诊断全层撕裂方面与磁共振成像一样精确。患者接受了股四头肌肌腱的手术修复,目前正在康复过程中。
