A rupture of the deep fibers of quadriceps muscle is shown, with preserved muscle tendon and a large hematoma in suprapatellar recessus. In distal part a hyperechoic collection is found, which on closer inspection represents a fat-fluid level. Due to it being indicative of the fracture, an X-ray examination was indicated.
