Abstract

Injuries to the proximal hamstring are common, including injuries to the myotendinous junction, the proximal free tendon, or the ischial apophysis. Uncomplicated injuries often can be diagnosed by history and examination, without the need for imaging, though magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) have utility in cases where there is weakness or prolonged recovery. Most hamstring conditions, including myotendinous injuries and proximal hamstring tendinopathy, can be treated non-operatively using a graded rehabilitation approach. Here we review the types of injury, risk factors, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis for proximal hamstring injuries.
