Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe the MRI characteristics of intramuscular degloving injuries to the rectus femoris whereby the inner bipennate component of the indirect head is dissociated from its superficial unipennate component. Injuries to the rectus femoris muscle are common in athletes, especially European football (soccer) players. The complex muscle-within-a-muscle anatomic configuration of the rectus femoris makes it susceptible to various types of injuries.
