Case: The pudendal nerve lies near the origin of the hamstring muscles, placing it at increased risk of injury during proximal hamstring tendon repair. In this study, we report on a 56-year old man who experienced intermittent unilateral testicular pain after a proximal hamstring tendon repair presumably due to pudendal nerve neurapraxia. At the 1-year follow-up, he continued to experience discomfort in the pudendal nerve distribution but reported significant improvement in symptoms and complete resolution of hamstring pain.
Conclusion: Although the risk of pudendal nerve injury during proximal hamstring tendon repair is rare, surgeons should be aware of this potential complication.

Purpose: For the athlete, anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture and its surgical management are often a turning point in their career. Success and time to return to sport are essential parameters for athletes and their support staff, so it is critical to understand the prognostic factors influencing return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The aim of this study was to determine the influence of hamstring muscle composition on muscle power following ACLR with autogenous hamstring grafts.

Introduction: Thigh compartment syndrome is a rare clinical entity that requires urgent medical and surgical management due to its potentially severe medical and legal consequences. Although it typically affects a classic patient demographic-most often a young adult following a traffic accident.
Presentation Of Case: This case is unique in that it stems from a compressive hematoma secondary to an avulsion of the proximal hamstring tendon.

Importance: The management of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries in children is complex and varies depending on the specific nature of the injury. Avulsions of the PCL can often be addressed with proximal or distal repair, while intra-substance tears and cases with persistent instability generally require more extensive reconstruction. Despite the prevalence of such cases, the literature is predominantly composed of case reports, indicating a lack of comprehensive research in this area.

Handheld dynamometers provide an accurate measurement of muscle strength and have been shown to have good interrater reliability. The proximal stabilization and fulcrum are two methods of manual muscle testing; however, there is uncertainty about which method may be better for obtaining muscle strength measures. The purposes were to determine if there was a difference in hamstring strength and to determine the interrater reliability of DPT students using a handheld dynamometer when comparing the proximal stabilization and the fulcrum methods.

Purpose: The stability of the graft in the bony tunnels is of utmost importance in the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) since it ensures safe healing at the tendon-bone interface. The hypothesis was that when a double tibial fixation was used in ACLR with a short graft of autologous hamstrings, tibial tunnel bone re-growth and better graft integration would be observed at short-term follow-up.
Methods: The analysis included a cohort of 112 patients after a primary ACLR with hamstring tendons who underwent postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 3.
