Brief summary
Hamstring muscle injuries are a common pathology in sports mainly present in sprint and acceleration sports, accounting for about 12% of all football injuries. Because of their frequency, risk of reinjury and financial cost, they can be considered as a public health problem. Improving knowledge of the pathophysiology of hamstring muscle injury appears to be a relevant research focus for prevention purposes.
Detailed description
This study is a cohort of athletes in the context of suspicion of hamstring muscle injuries.
Interventions
OTHERMagnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound will be performed to determinate location of the lesion
OTHERultrasound
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound will be performed to determinate location of the lesion
OTHERSelf-questionnaire
Self-questionnaire will be completed by patient. In this questionnaire patients will describe the circumstances of the injury and their personal characteristics and level of sporting practice.

Inclusion criteria
* To be recreational sportsmen, competitions, amateurs, high-level or professional * Aged 18 to 50 years * Perform an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or an ultrasound of the thigh in the context of the suspicion of an acute hamstring muscle injury * Injury during sport since less 21 days old.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| location of the lesion of injury | at inclusion | Correlation between location of the lesion and mechanism of onset of injury. Location of the lesion will be measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound results. For location of the lesion, it is a combination of the injured muscle, damaged tissue and the area in the posterior compartment of the thigh. |
| mechanism of onset of injury | at inclusion | Correlation between location of the lesion and mechanism of onset of injury. Location of the lesion will be measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or ultrasound results. Mechanism of onset of injury will be check by self-questionnaire. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| mapping of hamstring lesions | at inclusion | Analyzed of mapping of hamstring lesions with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) / ultrasound. Compare the MRI and ultrasound maps and the performance of the two means to determine the location of the lesion. |
| volumetric analysis of the hamstrings | at inclusion | A standardization of the images to allow a better comparison between individuals |
