Implication

MRI may better characterize acute muscle strains than CT; leaves open optimal modern protocols for athletes.

Study Design

Observational (n=50)

PICO

P
Population
50 athletes (average age 28 years) with acute muscle strain involving the adductor, hamstring, quadriceps, or triceps surae muscles.
E

Speer et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Acute muscle strain injury (n=50). Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging localized acute muscle strain injuries predictably to the myotendinous junction, demonstrating edema, inflammation, and fluid collection.
