Clearance of Quadriceps Muscle Haematoma with Dobesilate

Muscle injuries are one of the most common traumas occurring in sports, often accompanied with haemorrhage. The standard of care for patients with acute intramuscular haemorrhages associated with skeletal muscle injuries is conservative therapy. In this context, we have evaluated the effectiveness of dobesilate in a patient with acute rectus femoris haemorrhage. We show for the first time that two weeks of dobesilate treatment cleared intramuscular haemorrhage and improved function in the affected thigh.
