A Clinical Study of 15 Cases: Muscle Ruptures / 대한정형외과학회잡지

Rupture of muscle, either complete or incomplete, is a fairly frequent occurence. It may be caused by direct or indirect violence, and occurs either in normal or diseased muscle. Undoubtedly if any of the aching and painful muscles resulting from trauma is examined, a considerable number of partial ruptures would be found which is often overlooked or wrongly diagnosed as a strain, hematoma, myositis and neuralgia etc. We had the opportunity to examine the 15 patients with ruptured muscles. Our survey is presented in this paper.

Rupture of The Adductor Longus Muscle of The Thigh: 5 Cases Report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

Rupture of the adductor longus muscle of the thigh is a rare injury. It is produced by several causes, but indirect force is much more frequent than other causes. Wide abduction of the legs may produce rupture of the adductor longus muscle. Palpable mass appears at the upper third of the thigh and become more prominent during contraction of the adductor muscles. We have had the opportunity to examine 5 patients with ruptured adductor longus muscles of the thigh and report them in this paper.
