Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 08/20/09
Floor S et al. – Two men visited the authors' Emergency Room because of a water–ski–accident. Both patients had a palpable gap just distal of the ischial tuberosity. Further imaging by sonography and MR–scan showed a rupture of the proximal hamstring tendon. Treatment was operative refixation of the hamstring tendons at the ischial tuberosity. Aftertreatment consisted of brace for 4 weeks after operation. Both patients returned to their pre–operatively sports, though at a lower level. Surgical treatment of a complete proximal rupture of the hamstrings is recommended in case of sportive patients.
