Total ruptur af hasemusklerne proksimalt på låret kan forveksles med fiberspraengning
Sammanfattning
Complete proximal hamstring tendon rupture is a rare injury which untreated can lead to reduced strength, pain and dysaesthesia corresponding to the sciatic nerve. We report a case of complete hamstring tendon rupture in a 50 year-old woman who was treated with surgical reinsertion of the tendon to the ischial tuberosity. Surgical repair should be considered in active patients, who desire a high level of physical activity. Surgery should preferably be performed in the first 2-3 weeks after injury, as delayed surgery is complicated by scar tissue in close relation to the sciatic nerve.
