On the basis of the clinical findings and MRI examination the diagnosis was made: an intramuscular adductor longus rupture (Figure 2).
(a) T1-weighted transversal MRI image shows a minimal hyperintense area where the rupture in the adductor longus was seen on previous MRI images after the initial trauma. (b) T1-weighted coronal MRI image, additional to (a).
