A 30-year-old male rugby player presents with pain in the anterior thigh of the right leg. He has noticeable swelling and ecchymosis present over the muscle belly of the quadricep-located at mid thigh region. He came into the clinic walking with a limp and reports having trouble flexing his knee all the way back. Upon examination, he is very point tender over that mid-thigh region. You measure his range of motion, with a goniometer, for flexion and get 120 degrees actively. Therefore, he lacks approximately 15 degrees of flexion in the affected leg. He does have full extension of the knee during the evaluation process. He has no radiating pain as the pain is localized to one area.
