Acute Muscular Injuries

Acute muscle injuries refer to muscular damage that result from a distinct traumatic event. A Precise history and meticulous clinical examination are usually sufficient to guide the diagnosis and disclose the potential severity of the injury. Initial mismanagement may lead to severe muscular sequelae with serious repercussion on the future sports activities. Injuries occurring during the activity itself (subject of the current chapter) are distinguished from those occurring after the activity (mainly related to physical overuse such as cramps, contractures, etc.).
