Abstract

Proximal hamstring injury occurs frequently and ranges from minor muscle injury to complete avulsions which can be potentially career threatening for athletes. Medical care of these challenging injuries requires proper knowledge of hamstring anatomy, function, aetiology and treatment options. Treatment may be conservative and/or operative. After successful primary treatment, secondary prevention is important due to the high incidence of reinjury. These topics are discussed in the following chapter.
