Muscular injuries are extremely common in athletes. Treatment of these injuries is based on a solid understanding of anatomy, physiology, and healing of skeletal muscle. Injuries discussed include contusions, hematomas, myositis ossificans, delayed onset soreness, strain, rhabdomyolysis, and lacerations. Diagnosis and treatment of these injuries is essential for the sports medicine physician.
