Popis: Key points Certain radiological findings of acute muscle injury on MRI performed shortly prior to return to play may be considered risk factors of reinjury. There is a high risk of reinjury when two of these five radiological findings are present (connective tissue gap, loss of tendon tension, intermuscular oedema, callus gap and interstitial feather oedema). Despite appropriate progression during rehabilitation, MRI studies appear necessary in the decision to return to competition.
