Description

Muscle strain mechanisms and classification are examined alongside hamstring injury, athletic pubalgia, exertional leg pain, and chronic compartment syndrome. Stress fracture grading and management implications across common sites follow, with selected additional overuse conditions.

Learning Objectives

  • Classify muscle injuries and recognise common MRI patterns of strain and athletic pubalgia.
  • Differentiate causes of exertional leg pain, including chronic compartment syndrome.
  • Grade stress fractures and identify high-risk locations that influence management.
