Abstract:

 


Androgenic
and human growth hormone derivatives have to potential to increase athletic performance
despite increased risk of serious adverse effects. The risk of tendon rupture
is very high in the anabolic androgenic steroid users. A 51-year-old male admitted
to the emergency department with left knee pain following sport training. He had
a history combination of androgenic hormones and insuline growth factor -1 use.
Magnetic resonance imaging showed swelling, heterogeneity and partial
discontinuity of the quadriceps tendon. Use of performance enhancing drugs has
become a serious public health problem. Due to increase of abuse today it is
possible to  encounter more side effects
in the future and has to be considered as a
growing public health problem.
