    Proximal hamstring injuries often require surgical repair, especially for acute ruptures, due to better outcomes compared to non-operative management.

  • 2

    A prospective study analyzed 59 patients undergoing surgical repair for acute proximal hamstring tears to identify factors influencing 2-year outcomes.

  • 3

    Patient demographics, injury characteristics, and post-operative variables were evaluated for their association with clinical outcomes and satisfaction.

  • 4

    Surgical techniques included a double-row anchor configuration, with a focus on minimizing tension during tendon mobilization and repair.

  • 5

    Post-operative rehabilitation emphasized gradual progression of activities, starting with range of motion exercises and advancing to strength training.
