Abstract

A unique case is presented of a patient who is unable to fully hip extend in a rectus femoris muscle tear. Rectus femoris muscle is a type of quadriceps muscle, which is the most involved muscle in strain pathologies. Rectus femoris involves primarily in hip flexion and knee extension. We report a 23 year old young man who sustained injury to his right hip after a game of ‘sepak takraw’ whereby he fell on his right gluteus after a bicycle kick in the air. He sought medical attention immediately as he was unable to extend his hip and presented with a palpable painful mass over his right gluteal and proximal thigh region. This is the first reported case of rectus femoris tear presenting with failure of hip extension.
