Hi All,
I wanted to share some images of a 39 year old MSK radiologist who maybe was a little over confident with wake surfing…having, well, never done it before.
On my third day, I asked for a little more speed on the start, and as I was standing up felt a rip. I thought it was going to be an adductor longus strain, but after a few days, my entire inguinal region to the mid thigh was black and blue, and I was having some rectus pain too. While I expected some aponeurotic pathology when I hopped in the magnet yesterday, it was more impressive than I thought it would be, and I thought I’d share as a warning to others who might still act like they are 15 years old 🙂
I also was hoping that there maybe folks who can offer some advice on management. The AL attachment is retracted by approximately 7 mm, and from what I have read, conservative management is what is called for—especially since I am not a pro athlete trying to get back to competition. Does anyone else have any experience with when these extensive tenoperiosteal avulsion cases would be served by operative reattachment?
Thanks!
Ben
