In certain instances, an MRI may be performed to confirm the diagnosis made at the bedside. Ultrasound may be useful to determine a partial versus a complete tendon rupture. Blood tests Creatine phosphokinase (CPK or CK) levels may be measured if there is concern that major muscle damage has...
Strength of the patellar tendon is in direct proportion to the number, size, and orientation of the collagen fibers that make up the tendon. Overuse is simply a mismatch between load or stress on the tendon and the ability of that tendon to distribute the force. If the forces placed on th...

Quadriceps muscle injuries are common in sports involving kicking and rapid movements, such as sprinting, jumping, or changing direction. Patient history, clinical examination, and magnetic resonance are crucial things in diagnostics. It is essential to differentiate, if the injury is in tendon or in...
30 The tendon tissue response to loads consists of three phases33: the first phase or the “toe” phase, in which the initial deformation, till 2% of load, depends only on flattening of the crimp pattern of collagen fibres. Beyond this point and up to 4% of the strain, tendon ...

I have been dealing with quad pain for 12 months. A year ago while playing soccer I overdid and continued activity with a pulled quad. As time went on it was seen on a MRI to have been a grade II strain. An indentation/bump formed after a month and limited range of motion stay per...
