The article discusses a study to evaluate the clinical, functional as well as radiological outcomes in the case of patients who have been treated with surgical repair for complete proximal hamstring avulsions. The study found that though surgical repair of complete hamstring ruptures provides reliable pain relief, good functional outcomes, high satisfaction rates, and excellent healing rates (MRI), however, does not fully restore hamstring function and sports activity to preinjury levels.
