The capsular head of the proximal rectus femoris muscle: a review of the imaging anatomy of proximal muscle injury in professional athletes - early experience.

The detailed anatomy of the rectus femoris and corresponding injury appearances were first described in 1995. Since then, there has been little published to change our understanding of this complex anatomical area. More recent anatomical dissection work in 2004 and 2006 alluded to the presence of an altered configuration of the proximal tendon anatomy.

The Achilles Tendon: Imaging Diagnoses and Image-Guided Interventions- Expert Panel Narrative Review.

The Achilles tendon is commonly affected by both chronic repetitive overuse and traumatic injuries. Achilles tendon injuries can potentially affect any individual but have a particularly high incidence in professional athletes. Appropriate imaging evaluation and diagnosis are paramount to guiding appropriate management.

Os intermetatarseum: An analysis of morphology and case reports of fracture.

Introduction: The os intermetatarseum is an uncommon accessory ossicle of the foot located dorsally, between the bases of the first and second metatarsals that are usually asymptomatic. In the setting of trauma, this ossicle can clinically mimic a Lisfranc fracture-dislocation, a potentially disabling condition often requiring surgical intervention.

Methods: In this study, 47 cases of os intermetatarseum were reviewed across several Western Australian (WA) Hospitals and characterised based on morphology.

Sonoelastography of Musculoskeletal Soft Tissue Masses: A Pilot Study of Quantitative Evaluation.

Objectives: To evaluate quantitative sonoelastography of benign and malignant musculoskeletal soft tissue masses.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study of 50 patients from a specialist sarcoma center who had extremity soft tissue masses referred for biopsy. After consent, the quantitative shear wave velocity (meters per second) was measured in longitudinal and transverse planes (3 readings in each plane and mean calculated).
