Proximal Hamstring Avulsion Surgery Cohort Study

Fonds de Dotation pour la Recherche Clinique en Orthopédie et Pathologie du Sport · NCT02906865

This study looks at how well surgery works for people who have had a proximal hamstring rupture to see if it helps them recover better than just resting and doing physical therapy.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on patients who have undergone surgical repair for proximal hamstring ruptures, a rare injury. It aims to provide a detailed and quantified assessment of postoperative outcomes to better understand the effectiveness of surgical intervention compared to conservative treatment. The study will collect data on various functional results following surgery, building on previous findings that suggest surgical repair yields better outcomes. By analyzing these outcomes, the study seeks to enhance knowledge in the field of orthopedic sports medicine.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals with a partial or complete proximal hamstring rupture who have undergone surgical treatment.

Not a fit: Patients who have not had surgical treatment for their hamstring injury may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols for patients with proximal hamstring ruptures.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have indicated that surgical repair of proximal hamstring ruptures can lead to better functional outcomes, suggesting that this approach has been successful in similar contexts.
