Relationship between anatomical injury site of rectus femoris muscle strain and time taken to return to play in Japanese professional soccer players

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2022
Purpose The rectus femoris has three myotendinous or myoaponeurosis junctions and causes three types of muscle strain anatomically. We aimed to investigate the anatomical injury site of the rectus femoris muscle strain in professional soccer players as ...
