    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on current understanding of muscle injury pathophysiology.
    • Analysis of research trends in sports medicine and orthopaedics.
    • Synthesis of existing data to identify knowledge gaps.

    Main Results:

    • Muscle injuries are highly prevalent in clinical practice.
    • There is a significant deficit in the scientific understanding of muscle injury pathophysiology.
    • Recent advancements and focus in sports medicine are expected to yield new data.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is crucial to advance the scientific basis for managing muscle injuries.
    • An enhanced understanding of pathophysiology will lead to improved treatment and prevention strategies.
    • The growing emphasis on sports medicine is a positive development for addressing muscle injury challenges.
