Complete rectus femoris midsubstance rupture: operative image (A) and sagittal proton density fat saturated image that shows a complete distal myotendinous junction rupture and an anterior myofascial rupture. Moderate proximal retraction of the muscle. Proximal to the rupture the distal tendon shows scar changes and the central septum is retracted with “waving” pattern due to the retraction. (B)
