Abstract

Rectus femoris tear is rare and often overlooked in emergencies. The majority of quadriceps muscle belly injuries can be successfully treated conservatively and for less active, older populations Non-operative management is reasonable. A case report of a 19-year-old male Kabbaddi player who sustained an injury to his rectus femoris muscle belly while playing 5 months back. This young patient did not recover the functional outcome required to get back to running and participating in kabaddi despite 5 months of physiotherapy and non-operative management and had complaints of Pain over midthigh and weakness in quadriceps during hip flexion and knee extension. This leads to Hindrances in Jumping, running, and kicking movements. Tenderness over the midthigh and palpable defect with Pain upon resisted hip flexion or extension was seen.3/5 quadriceps power was noted. Ultrasound and MRI were done to confirm the clinical diagnosis. Operative treatment using the semitendinosus allograft with bio fiber reconstruction system to augment rectus femoris repair allowed immediate full passive flexion of the knee and an early graduated physiotherapy program leading to a return to running and his previous level of sport without any restrictions. Surgical treatment of rectus femoris tear seems to be a good option for Chronic tears.
