Pain in the thigh or groin due to a rupture of the rectus femoris muscle is rather uncommon. We report on a patient with a bilateral rupture of the rectus femoris muscle that occurred due to a landing maneuver while para-gliding. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound and MRI. Additionally, an old unilateral anterior cruciate ligament rupture was present. As a functional deficit of the quadriceps muscle could not be observed, a primarily conservative treatment seems to be appropriate.

Isolated rectus muscle rupture due to trauma without globe damage is extremely rare. The most commonly affected muscle is the medial rectus, while the least affected is the lateral rectus. The oblique muscles are much less affected by trauma because they are protected by the surrounding bone structures.

Acute muscle pain is muscle soreness that occurs during or within 24 hours of strenuous activity. Possible causes of acute muscle pain include localized muscle trauma, muscle tear, contusion with acute hemorrhage, or acute compartment syndrome. Isolated ruptures of the rectus femoris muscle are rare clinical conditions that result from excessive muscle strain following an abrupt contraction, incorrect movement, or sudden snap that exceeds the physiological limit of strain that the muscle can withstand.

- - In February 2024, a patient suffered a severe ocular injury to the right eye from an explosion of a salute gun, leading to an infection caused by Clostridium tertium, confirmed after the patient was transferred to a specialized hospital for further treatment.
- - Medical interventions included intraocular exploration, debridement, suturing, and various diagnostic tests to analyze the bacteria causing the infection, which was identified through a Gram stain and culture.
- - Pathological findings showed significant complications in the eye, such as conjunctival edema and hemorrhage, along with elevated white blood cell counts and markers indicating infection in the patient's blood tests.
