Background: Nonoperative management of proximal semimembranosus injuries is
associated with prolonged periods of convalescence and high risk of recurrence. To our …

The aim of this work was to study semimembranosus musculotendinous injuries (SMMTI)
and return to play (RTP). The hypothesis is that some related anatomic variables of the SM …

DISCUSSION This case report demonstrates that acute repair of distal semimembranosus
tendon avulsions can lead to an excellent outcome. Distal semimembranosus tendon …

Complete ruptures of the distal hamstring tendons rarely cause functional disability
significant enough to warrant surgical intervention. Isolated ruptures of the distal …

Hamstring strains are the most common injury in elite football and typically occur during high-
speed running. Despite its important contribution to power production in the late swing …

Background: Chronic incomplete proximal hamstring avulsion injuries are debilitating
injuries associated with prolonged periods of convalescence and poor return to preinjury …

Semimembranosus tendon ruptures are rare and are often associated with involvement of
the cruciate ligaments. We present a 24-year-old American football player who sustained a …

Background: No case series of isolated complete rupture of the distal semitendinosus
tendon have been reported previously. Purpose: This study was undertaken to increase …

Semimembranosus tendon avulsion fractures are an uncommon occurrence and are often
associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial meniscus tears. We present the …

Background: Proximal hamstring complex injury (PHCI) is a common injury among
professional athletes, particularly those participating in pivot contact sports. Previous studies …
