Hamstring injuries affect the posterior thigh muscles, including tendinosis, tears, and apophysitis. Imaging features help diagnose these common hamstring pathologies.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Sports Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • The hamstring muscles (biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus) are prone to proximal injuries.
  • Pathologies often involve the tendinous enthesis, ischial tuberosity, and surrounding tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common hamstring injuries and their pathologies.
  • To describe the characteristic imaging features of these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on hamstring injuries.
  • Analysis of imaging findings associated with various hamstring pathologies.

Main Results:

  • Proximal hamstring injuries include tendinosis, partial tears, bursitis, hamstring syndrome, apophysitis, and osseous avulsions.

  • Distal injuries involve musculotendinous strains, delayed onset muscle soreness, contusions, and myositis ossificans.
  • Imaging is generally specific for diagnosis, with exceptions for some myositis ossificans and chronic ischial avulsions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding the spectrum of hamstring injuries and their imaging manifestations is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Radiographic evaluation plays a key role in differentiating various hamstring pathologies.
