Abstract
Rectus femoris muscle belly tears have not been reported in the literature to our knowledge. This is a case of an isolated rectus femoris intrasubstance tear in a healthy college football kicker possibly caused by the eccentric and concentric load cycles associated with kicking activities. Dynamic ultrasound was crucial in establishing a diagnosis and investigating the mechanism behind this rare injury.Keywords: Eccentric strengthening; magnetic resonance imaging; quadriceps imaging; quadriceps stretching; quadriceps tear; rectus femoris tear; ultrasound
