Never seen this before OCAD installment number (what is it now, 15 or so?)

30yoM status post twisting injury. Difficulty with hip flexion and internal rotation. Rule Out psoas tendon tear. I can see why the clinician thought it would be a psoas tear. When I saw the history before seeing the images I figured the patient would be at least 80+ years old as the only psoas tears I have ever seen have been in old patients albeit my personal observations have nothing to do with the actual incidence of disease.

Full thickness tear of the direct head origin of the rectus femoris with low grade partial tearing of the indirect head. 1st image you can see the stump, also the 4th image (sagittal). Pretty cool huh? Obviously not cool for the patient.

Hope you are having a good late summer in the northern hemisphere and late winter for our southern OCADers.
