History and Exam

Anatomy • The hamstring is made up of 3
muscles: • Semitendinosus • Semimembranosus • Biceps femoris (long and
short head)
• All 3 innervated by sciatic nerve
• Semi-T and biceps make up conjoint tendon
• Semi-M more lateral long tendon

Function • Knee flexion • Hip extension • 70% fast twitch fibers (quad
50%) • Sprinting • Walking
• Late recovery phase • Provide eccentric control
and knee stability

Acute Hamstring Tears: Etiology and Mechanism • 12% of hamstring injures involve a tear or
avulsion of the proximal hamstring origin, 9% of which are complete avulsions
• Injury involves a traumatic event with forced hip flexion and combined knee extension

Need to distinguish between hamstring “pull/strain” and avulsion
©2014 MFMER | slide-13
History of Mechanism • Avulsions
• Athletes • Waterski, bull-riders,
“splits” • Non-athletes
• Slip on ice • Slip on wet floor
• Hamstring strains • Sprinting—eccentric force
on a lengthened muscle

Commonly Presenting Symptom • Difficulty Sitting • Buttock Pain • Difficulty walking fast • Weakness • Sciatic nerve symptoms
• Pins and needles in sciatic distribution
• Rare foot drop

Clinical examination • Dichotomy of presentations
• Doorway sign • Tenderness to palpation
• Localizes well • Strength deficits • Palpable defect • Bruising • Popeye sign

Gold standard for diagnosis • MRI
