Clinical Trial Summary

Hamstring muscle injuries are a common pathology in sports mainly present in sprint and acceleration sports, accounting for about 12% of all football injuries. Because of their frequency, risk of reinjury and financial cost, they can be considered as a public health problem. Improving knowledge of the pathophysiology of hamstring muscle injury appears to be a relevant research focus for prevention purposes.

Description:

This study is a cohort of athletes in the context of suspicion of hamstring muscle injuries.

Intervention

Other:
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound will be performed to determinate location of the lesion

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	location of the lesion of injury	Correlation between location of the lesion and mechanism of onset of injury. Location of the lesion will be measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound results. For location of the lesion, it is a combination of the injured muscle, damaged tissue and the area in the posterior compartment of the thigh.	at inclusion
Primary	mechanism of onset of injury	Correlation between location of the lesion and mechanism of onset of injury. Location of the lesion will be measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound results.; Mechanism of onset of injury will be check by self-questionnaire.	at inclusion
Secondary	mapping of hamstring lesions	Analyzed of mapping of hamstring lesions with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) / ultrasound.; Compare the MRI and ultrasound maps and the performance of the two means to determine the location of the lesion.	at inclusion
Secondary	volumetric analysis of the hamstrings	A standardization of the images to allow a better comparison between individuals	at inclusion
