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

Terminated
Conditions
Sport Injury
Hamstring Muscle Lesions
Registration Number
NCT03373084
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
location of the lesion of injuryat 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 injuryat 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 Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
volumetric analysis of the hamstringsat inclusion

A standardization of the images to allow a better comparison between individuals

mapping of hamstring lesionsat 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.
