Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, U.S.A.

Published: October 2023

Symptomatic proximal hamstring tendon tears are typically repaired surgically, with open incision and knot-tying technique. An endoscopic, knotless, suture-bridge repair technique is presented. Potential advantages include knotless simplicity, compression over a broad zone to improve tendon-bone healing, and decreased pain secondary to elimination of knots and the open incision and approach.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the distribution and severity of hypertonicity and spasticity on walking speed in people with neurological injuries.

Material/methods: This cross-sectional observation cohort study used the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS) to assess hypertonicity and spasticity of the gastrocnemius, soleus, hamstrings and quadriceps. Participants were classified as having a distal (gastrocnemius and/or soleus), proximal (hamstrings and/or quadriceps) or mixed distribution of hypertonicity or spasticity.

Open or arthroscopic repair of hamstring tear requires both hard and soft, posterior and proximal thigh analgesia. Regional injections to completely relieve this unique pain are not available to the best of our knowledge. We present a novel, single injection, performed under ultrasound guidance, that utilizes the deep piriformis space.

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.
