Description: CONCLUSION: Complete rupture of the hamstring origin is a potentially devastating sports injury that has implications affecting the individual's activities of daily living as well as potential as a sportsperson. Surgical repair restores the distorted anatomy, allows early functional rehabilitation, and avoids the potential debilitating neurological problem of gluteal sciatica.
