Review[Diagnosis, first aid and classification of muscle injuries in sports medicine].
Muscle injuries are, with 6 to 14%, the most common but neglected and under-estimated sport injuries. Certain muscle groups are predisposed to injury depending on the type of sport. There are many hypothesis as to the cause of muscular injury. ⋯ Sonography and MRI can supply additional information when it is not clear as to the extent of injury. Resulting from an exact as possible classification can the further treatment and planning of the progress of the rehabilitation be established. The necessary length of the pause from sport and of the rehabilitation depend on the seriousness of the injury.
