Hamstring injuries

چکیده
There is a continuum of hamstring injuries that can range from musculotendinous strains to avulsion injuries. Although the proximal hamstring complex has a strong bony attachment on the ischial tuberosity, hamstring injuries are common in athletic population and can affect all levels of athletes. Nonoperative treatment is mostly recommended in the setting of low-grade partial tears and insertional tendinosis. However, failure of nonoperative treatment of partial tears may benefit from surgical debridement and repair. The technique presented on this article allows for the endoscopic management of proximal hamstring tears and chronic ischial bursitis, which until now has been managed exclusively with much larger open approaches. The procedure allows for complete exposure of the posterior aspect of the hip in a safe, minimally invasive fashion.

Magnetic resonance imaging for assessing hamstring injuries: clinical benefits and pitfalls – a review of the current literature
Hamstring injuries are common injuries in all levels of athletics. Hamstring injuries can cause prolonged absence from sports and have a notorious rate of reinjury. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is being increasingly utilized following a hamstring injury. Physicians are being increasingly asked to utilize MRI to predict clinical outcomes, including time frame for return to play and risk of r...
متن کاملIntrinsic risk factors for hamstring injuries among male soccer players: a prospective cohort study.
BACKGROUND Strain injuries of the posterior thigh are common in soccer. It seems that previous injury and age are important risk factors, but the literature is limited. This study was conducted to see if we could identify intrinsic risk factors for hamstring injuries among male soccer players. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that previous hamstring injuries, reduced function scores, abnormalities ...

H amstring injuries are common in sports that require repeated acceleration, deceleration, and maximal sprinting. Recent studies in elite level soccer have shown that hamstring injuries account for up to 17% of all injuries (1,3,6). Several factors have been identified as potential causes for the incidence of hamstring injury in soccer players, including poor hamstring strength, strength imbala...
متن کاملPrevention of Hamstring Injuries in Collegiate Sprinters
BACKGROUND No studies have been reported on how strength, agility, and flexibility training reduce the occurrence of hamstring injuries in sprinters. Therefore, a program for preventing hamstring injury in these athletes has not been established. PURPOSE To document the incidence of hamstring injuries during times when different prevention strategies were employed to see whether a particular ...

Background Inversion injury to the ankle and hamstring injuries are common problems in most sports. It is not known whether these injuries constitute a predisposing factor or a precursor of injury or re-injury of these anatomical locations. Therefore, we wished to test the hypothesis that a previous inversion ankle injury exerted a significant effect on the chance of an athlete suffering from a...

Twenty-one percent of hurdlers and sprinters (22 of 106 athletes) from a Division 1 University Track and Field team sustained hamstring strains in the 2010 season preventing practice and competition. Functional hamstring to quadriceps strength ratio was measured to study muscular imbalances in these athletes. The hypotheses were: 1) Athletes with previous hamstring injuries have a greater chanc...
