Imaging Location of Hamstring Muscle Lesions in Sport and Relationships With Injury Mechanism.

Overview

Hamstring muscle injuries are a common pathology in sports mainly present in sprint and acceleration sports, accounting for about 12% of all football injuries. Because of their frequency, risk of reinjury and financial cost, they can be considered as a public health problem. Improving knowledge of the pathophysiology of hamstring muscle injury appears to be a relevant research focus for prevention purposes.

Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Prospective
  • Study Primary Completion Date: July 2024

Detailed Description

This study is a cohort of athletes in the context of suspicion of hamstring muscle injuries.

Interventions

  • Other: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound will be performed to determinate location of the lesion
  • Other: ultrasound
    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound will be performed to determinate location of the lesion
  • Other: Self-questionnaire
    • Self-questionnaire will be completed by patient. In this questionnaire patients will describe the circumstances of the injury and their personal characteristics and level of sporting practice.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • hamstring muscle lesions
    • Patients with hamstring muscle lesions in sport will be included. As usual practice they will have Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound, and will answer to self-questionnaire

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • location of the lesion of injury
    • Time Frame: at inclusion
    • Correlation between location of the lesion and mechanism of onset of injury. Location of the lesion will be measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound results. For location of the lesion, it is a combination of the injured muscle, damaged tissue and the area in the posterior compartment of the thigh.
  • mechanism of onset of injury
    • Time Frame: at inclusion
    • Correlation between location of the lesion and mechanism of onset of injury. Location of the lesion will be measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound results. Mechanism of onset of injury will be check by self-questionnaire.

Secondary Measures

  • mapping of hamstring lesions
    • Time Frame: at inclusion
    • Analyzed of mapping of hamstring lesions with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) / ultrasound. Compare the MRI and ultrasound maps and the performance of the two means to determine the location of the lesion.
  • volumetric analysis of the hamstrings
    • Time Frame: at inclusion
    • A standardization of the images to allow a better comparison between individuals

Exclusion Criteria:

  • a history of surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament with removal of the transplant in the posterior compartment of the thigh – an antecedent of surgery of the thigh. – inability to understand the French language for completing the self-questionnaire
