Abstract :
To further evaluate the role of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in diagnosing and managing muscle injuries, eight patients with muscle pain or palpable masses were imaged. MR findings were correlated with clinical follow-up data. Increased signal was noted on T2-weighted images in torn and overused muscles. One extensively scarred muscle required surgical biopsy to exclude a fibrous tumor. Three partial muscle tears were treated conservatively. One complete musculotendinous junction tear required tendon transfer. MR studies noninvasively identified and staged various muscle injuries, thereby influencing management.
