Özet

Sporting injuries of the thigh and hamstrings depend on the nature and energy of the

sport. Knowledge of the anatomy of the thigh and the mechanism of the injury

would aid in appropriate and accurate initial and subsequent management. The

objective of this chapter is for healthcare providers to correctly identify common

thigh injuries through on-field assessment, provide the necessary immediate acute

management, and identify those that need further management in the hospital. The

initial approach should follow the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS)

guidelines and it is crucial to rule out life-threatening conditions by stabilizing

the airway, breathing, and circulation first. In terms of the lower limb, the

neurovascular status must be addressed and well documented. Further management,

rehabilitation, and prevention are also crucial in allowing athletes to return to sports.
