Observational study on surgery outcomes for proximal hamstring ruptures
Official title: Proximal Hamstring Avulsion Surgery Cohort Study
Run by Fonds de Dotation pour la Recherche Clinique en Orthopédie et Pathologie du Sport · NCT02906865 · Data updated 2026-11-12
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.
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 gone: 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.
