Description
Dr. Justin Lee, a radiologist at Fortius Clinic, presents a lecture on muscle injury imaging in sports, particularly focusing on the importance of MRI in diagnosing and grading muscle injuries. He discusses how nearly half of all injuries in football are related to muscle strain, emphasizing the need for precise imaging to determine the extent and recovery prognosis of these injuries. Lee critiques current grading systems, like the outdated Peetrons classification, and introduces a more nuanced approach that considers tendon involvement. He explores historical and contemporary grading systems, their efficacy, and their application in rehabilitation. The lecture highlights the key role of imaging for better diagnosis, treatment, and management of muscle injuries, particularly the impact of tendon status on recovery outcomes.
