The usefulness of the fibrillar pattern and pennation angle in the ultrasound diagnosis of muscle injury
A 17-year-old patient who, while braking while playing football, feels a sharp pain in the anterolateral region of the proximal third of the thigh that prevents him from continuing to play sports.
Typically, the axial plane (the short axis of the muscle) is used to study fibrillar tears, with a high diagnostic sensitivity. However, on many occasions, it can be easier to scan through the long axis of the muscle to visualize the different muscle fascicles and the pennation angle in their entirety, being able to make the diagnosis by observing the interruption and loss of tension of the muscle fascicles associated with the loss of the normal pennation angle.
In the present case, the normal fibrillar pattern is initially visualized in the medial region of the rectus femoris muscle until the presence of a fibrillar tear in the posterolateral myofascial junction of its proximal third, where there is a sudden interruption of the fibrillar pattern due to the presence of an intramuscular hematoma.

50.37 for 400m hurdles is one of the greatest performances in athletics history, maybe the greatest of them all.
Just absolutely astonishing.
