Quadriceps Hematoma. A prospective clinical study.

A G Rothwell

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
    |November 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Quadriceps hematomas, common in young athletes, can lead to heterotopic ossification. Early management and imaging like 99m-Technetium-diphosphonate scans aid in understanding and treating these injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Quadriceps hematomas are injuries that can affect young athletes.
    • Understanding their pathogenesis, characteristics, and morbidity is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • A prospective study of 60 patients aged 15-25 with quadriceps hematomas was conducted.
    • Rugby football was the most common cause of injury, with the knee being the most frequent site.
    • Heterotopic ossification occurred in 10 patients, prolonging hospitalization and disability.

    Findings:

    • 99m-Technetium-diphosphonate scanning proved useful for identifying hematoma size and location.
    • Management involves three phases: rest, knee mobilization, and quadriceps function restoration.
    • Investigations to predict ossification or localize hematomas were unsuccessful.

    Implications:

    • This study enhances understanding of quadriceps hematoma epidemiology and morbidity.
    • Findings can inform educational programs for healthcare professionals and athletes.
    • Further research may be needed to develop predictive tools for ossification.
