The purpose of this exhibit is 1. To explain importance of intramuscular conjonctive structures 2. To illustrate the spectrum of lesions of connective tissue, with correlation between ultrasonography and MRI 3. To discuss the role of imaging to evaluate sole connective tissue lesions and their impact on return to play time in high-level soccer players 4. To discuss interest of imaging in the follow-up

1. Clinical features 2. Different locations on imaging: - epimysium - intramuscular conjonctive wall - intramuscular tendon extension - between two perimuscular conjonctive walls 3. Different severities on imaging: - blurred and limited thickening of an intramuscular conjonctive wall - diffuse thickening of an intra or perimuscular conjonctive component - rupture of a connective structure with muscle injury which is symmetrical around 4. Prognosis 5. Imaging in the follow-up
