Abstract
In brief Quadriceps injuries can follow direct or indirect trauma. Accurate diagnosis includes differentiating strains from contusions, along with assessing injury severity. Treatment that maximizes recovery and minimizes the risk of complications goes beyond rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Management of strains includes control of pain, swelling, and inflammation, as well as targeted stretching and strengthening exercises. Immediate care of a quadriceps contusion includes immobilization in flexion and is especially important for a quick recovery. After return to play, a thigh pad should be worn to protect the injury site.
