Abstract EN
An isolated avulsion fracture of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle without associated ligamentous or tendinous injury is a rare injury.To our knowledge there are only two reports of such cases in the English medical literature.We report an avulsion fracture of the medial femoral condyle at the insertion of the medial head of gastrocnemius muscle in a 13- year-old boy following a skiing injury, the youngest patient with this injury reported to date.
Our goal is to review the literature focusing on the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnostic approach of such injuries often very difficult to recognize by simple radiographs
Abstract FRE
La fracture-avulsion isolée du muscle jumeau interne à son insertion fémorale est une entité rare.
À notre connaissance, seuls deux cas ont été rapportés dans la littérature anglaise.
Ce genre de fracture est très difficile à identifier par simple radiographie.
Nous présentons un cas similaire suite à un accident de ski chez un garçon de 13 ans, le plus jeune patient à ce jour présentant ce type de fracture.
La revue de la littérature qui l’accompagne a pour but d’insister sur l'importance de l’imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) dans le diagnostic de cette rare fracture difficile à diagnostiquer par radiographie simple.
