ABSTRACT

The hamstrings are commonly injured in those activities that require speed and eccentric contraction, like running and jumping. There is an important risk of hamstring injury in water skiers for abrupt hip flexion with knee full extension during ski elevation. Biomechanics of the hamstrings is complex because these muscles work on tow articulations and are involved during walk and run, depending on several factors including: pelvic tilt, flexion or extension of hip and knee joints degree, the strength and speed of eccentric or concentric contractions required in the work carried. The injuries may vary: from mild, with rapid recovery to severe injury with complete rupture, which may require 16 to 50 weeks for recovery. After an injury the risk of recurrence rises 70%, the diagnosis is mainly clinical, it can be confirmed with ultrasound and/or magnetic resonance; the management of rehabilitation must be early and constant. We present the case of a patient with total rupture of medial hamstrings and the literature review.
