injury in professional football. 1 Several studies have indicated that hamstring strains are …

Hamstring injuries are very common in athletes. Acute hamstring strains can occur with high-
speed running or with excessive hamstring lengthening. Athletes with proximal hamstring …

Background Hamstring strains can be of at least 2 types, 1 occurring during high-speed
running and the other during motions in which the hamstring muscles reach extreme …

Background: Hamstring muscle strains often recur. The authors studied the effect of the
grade of initial injury on the subsequent risk of reinjury. Hypothesis: No difference in reinjury …

Purpose Identification of the most relevant diagnostic and prognostic factors of physical
examination and imaging of hamstring injuries in (elite) athletes. Methods A literature search …

Objective To systematically review risk factors for hamstring strain injury (HSI). Design
Systematic review update. Data sources Database searches:(1) inception to 2011 (original) …

Background: Because a proximal hamstring avulsion results in residual loss of function,
surgical repair is recommended. Few studies have investigated postoperative function with …

Background: The epidemiology of hamstring strains among student-athletes has been
extensively researched. However, there is a paucity of recent data describing patterns of …

Background: Avulsion of the proximal hamstring origin is well documented, and surgical
treatment is advocated for complete avulsions. Purpose: To compare the return to preinjury …
