Abstract
Proximal rectus femoris avulsion is an uncommon injury that is usually seen in athletes, particularly in the Western population. While the existing literature largely focuses on surgical treatment as the main approach, growing evidence suggests that conservative management for these injuries can also be effective. Such injuries are rarely associated with non-sport activities and have not been documented in the Indian population to date. In this report, we present a case of partial proximal avulsion of the rectus femoris that was managed conservatively with a structured rehabilitation programme, leading to good functional outcome.
