Hamstring muscle complex (HMC) injuries are common in athletes. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and ultrasonography (US) are key for diagnosing HMC injuries, assessing severity, and guiding treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Musculoskeletal Imaging

Background:

  • Hamstring muscle complex (HMC) injuries are frequent in athletes due to increased physical demands.
  • Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing HMC injuries, showcasing diverse appearances.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging and Ultrasonography (US) in evaluating hamstring muscle complex injuries.
  • To highlight the importance of understanding HMC anatomy and imaging findings for accurate diagnosis and prognosis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on MR imaging and US for HMC injuries.
  • Discussion of imaging techniques, including surface coil and high-resolution MR, and US portability.
  • Emphasis on anatomical knowledge and spectrum of imaging findings.

Main Results:

  • Both MR imaging and US offer detailed localization and characterization of HMC injuries.
  • Optimized MR imaging aids in diagnosis, severity assessment, and prognosis.
  • US is valuable for acute injuries, contingent on operator skill.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis and characterization of HMC injuries rely on a thorough understanding of anatomy and imaging findings.
  • Musculoskeletal radiologists can significantly contribute to athlete treatment through effective imaging interpretation.
  • MR imaging and US are essential tools for managing hamstring injuries in sports medicine.
