| Popis: | Isolated mid-tendon vastus intermedius avulsion injuries are rare, painful, and overuse-related changes with a wide spectrum of epidemiology often demonstrating an exceptional spectrum of imaging features, especially on conventional radiographs. Although they can be easily diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging, it is pertinent to identify the features of conventional imaging as that forms the first line of investigation. Our case report emphasizes the significance of identifying early signs of vastus intermedius avulsions on plain radiographs which can avoid neglect and functional disability. Timely identification of conventional imaging can avoid months of excruciating pain and streamline the further course of the treatment. |
