Partial rupture of the quadriceps muscle in a child [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2010 The quadriceps femoris muscle ruptures usually occur in the middle-aged population. We present a 4-year-old patient with partial rupture of the quadriceps femoris muscle. To our knowledge, this is the youngest patient reported with a quadriceps femoris muscle rupture.A 4-year-old girl admitted to our clinic with left knee pain and limitation in knee ...

Total rupture of the quadriceps muscle in an adolescent
Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia (English Edition), 2013 The total rupture of the quadriceps muscle in an adolescent is a rare lesion. We report a case of a 13 year old boy who suffered a direct trauma to the left knee. No predisposing factors have been diagnosed. The lesion was treated with surgical repair and transosseus sutures. The aim of this study was to present a rare case of rupture of the quadriceps
