Although muscle injuries represent the most frequent injury in professional football, isolated complete distal ruptures of the rectus femoris (RF) muscle are rare, and there is no consensus on their treatment and return to play (RTP). In this article, we report a clinical case of successful non-surgical management of an RF grade 4c muscle injury in a professional football player, in which the athlete was able to RTP 21 weeks after the injury, had no re-injury >1 year after RTP, and is playing at an elite level in the Portuguese Football First League.
尽管肌肉损伤是职业足球中最常见的损伤,但股直肌(RF)远端孤立性完全断裂却很少见,而且对于其治疗和重返赛场(RTP)尚无共识。在本文中,我们报告了一例职业足球运动员RF 4c级肌肉损伤成功非手术治疗的临床病例,该运动员在受伤后21周能够重返赛场,重返赛场后1年多未再次受伤,并且在葡萄牙足球甲级联赛中处于精英水平。
