Abstract
The world’s population is ageing. A significant proportion of this ageing population will undertake exercise, to optimise their health and wellbeing. Age-related changes in muscle physiology and composition may increase susceptibility to muscle injury and reduce the ability for recovery post exercise, which may have public health implications in years to come. This is a case report of a 59-year-old man with an isolated intramuscular haematoma, with onset during non-impact exercise (surfing and subsequently cricket). Injury to the latissimus dorsi muscle and/or tendon is rare. The individual in this report suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, which was well-controlled with methotrexate but had no other relevant medical history, which may have predisposed him to this injury.
