QUADRICEPS CONTUSION
Also known as Charley horse, cork thigh, or dead leg. It is an acute thigh injury in a contact sport in which a traumatic blow causes a deep bruise to the front, side, or inner aspect of the thigh. Examination to diagnose quadriceps contusion includes swelling, tenderness with extreme pain while passive stretching, and active contraction of the quadriceps which is the knee extension. The contusion over the muscle is the result of an external direct force that tends to damage the muscle but is not able to eliminate its active function.
Two commonly complications are seen after this contusion:
- Compartment syndrome
- Myositis of ossificans
Tissue pressure and tissue damage occur due to Localized bleeding. There can be intramuscular or intramuscular bleeding but the intramuscular hematoma is more painful causing a restrictive range of motion than the intramuscular hematoma.
