Abstract:
Case: We report a case of quadratus lumborum muscle strain that occurred in a 16-year-old soccer player during a game. According to a video recording of the game, the injury occurred when the leg landed just after kicking the ball with the same leg while dribbling. The mechanism was suspected to be right lateral flexion of the trunk while the pelvis was simultaneously forced to tilt backward. The injury healed and he was able to return to competition 3 weeks later.Conclusion: This is the first report of a sports-related quadratus lumborum muscle strain.
