Study Notes
- Hamstring strains are common in individuals who run and/or kick hard in sports like basketball, football, and baseball.
- These strains may tear part of the tendinous attachments of the hamstrings to the ischial tuberosity.
- Hamstring strains are twice as common as quadriceps strains.
- Thigh strains are usually accompanied by contusion and tearing of muscle fibers, resulting in rupture of blood vessels.
- Hematoma is contained by dense fascia Iata.
- Tearing of hamstring fibers is often very painful and can cause the athlete to fall and writhe in pain.
- These injuries often result from inadequate warming up before practice or competition or due to powerful quadriceps.
- Avulsion of the ischial tuberosity may result from forcible flexion of the hip with the knee extended.
- Avulsion can occur when kicking a football.
- Avulsion may result in tearing away of the proximal attachment of the biceps femoris and semitendinosus.
