- Abstract
Authors of previous studies of patients with acute hamstring strains have reported injury to the biceps femoris and semitendinosus (ST) in 50% to 100% and 0% to 30%, respectively. This retrospective case series of hamstring injuries in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I collegiate athletes exhibited an injury pattern on ultrasound imaging that differed from what would be expected based on prior literature. We examined ultrasound images of 38 athletes with acute hamstring strains for injury location (proximal muscle, proximal myotendinous junction, midportion of muscle, distal muscle) and affected muscles (biceps femoris, ST, or semimembranosus). Twenty-six athletes (68.4%) injured the ST, and 9 athletes (23.7%) injured the biceps femoris long head. Most athletes (23, 60.5%) injured the proximal portion of the muscle or myotendinous junction. Though this study had many limitations, we demonstrated more frequent involvement of the ST and less frequent involvement of the biceps femoris than reported in the literature.
