Abstract:
MR imaging evaluation of hamstring tendons reveals their association with subgluteal posterior hip pain, emphasizing the superiority of MR imaging over ultrasound due to the deep location of the hamstrings. This review encompasses various conditions, including overuse tendinopathy, metabolic disorders, and sports-related injuries prevalent in elite and recreational athletes. Practical MR imaging-guided approaches tailored to clinical needs and therapeutic options are discussed, highlighting MR imaging's crucial role in monitoring postinjury healing. Furthermore, potential residual complications are outlined, underscoring MR imaging's significance in diagnosing, treating, and evaluating hamstring tendon-related ailments comprehensively.
