Abstract
Hamstring injuries occur more frequently in activities combining eccentric contraction and speed. The biomechanics of these injuries are complex due to their bi-articular status, as the hamstrings are involved in the stabilization of the pelvis, knee individually, and both joints during gait. Hamstring injuries can range from a simple strain (which has a good prognosis for recovery in the short term) to total rupture of the proximal insertion (most frequently associated with more complex recovery). We present the clinical case of a total rupture of the proximal insertion of the hamstring that relapsed within two weeks and provide a review of the literature.
