Proximal Hamstring Avulsions: Surgical Versus Conservative Treatment Using a Shared Decision-Making Strategy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical treatment of patients with proximal hamstring avulsions provides good results; however, less is known about the outcome in patients who are offered conservative treatment.

Purpose

To investigate the effect of surgical or conservative treatment (decided by a shared decision strategy) of proximal hamstring avulsions.

Study design

Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.

Methods

A total of 24 patients with magnetic resonance imaging-verified proximal hamstring avulsion were included and had either surgical treatment (11 patients, 45% women; mean age, 50 ± 16 years) or conservative treatment (13 patients, 46% women; mean age, 50 ± 17 years). At baseline, 6 months and 12 months, all patients answered the Perth Hamstring Assessment Tool (PHAT) (0-100 s
