Résumé
To evaluate the mid-term clinical outcomes for the non-surgical and surgical management of acute proximal hamstring avulsions. Sixty physically active individuals were offered surgical or non-surgical management for their proximal hamstring avulsion injuries. Distal retraction was defined as greater than 2 cm. Primary outcome measures were the Victorian Institute of sport assessment-proximal hamstring tendons (VISA-H) and functional assessment scale for acute hamstring injuries (FASH). Secondary outcome measures included palpable gap (cm), return to sport (RTS) and the ability to perform Nordic hamstring curls. Outcome variables were adjusted in regression models for gender, age, and treatment. Thirty-one patients elected to undertake non-surgical management, and 29 chose surgery with a mean follow-up of 34.8 ± 8.7 and 34.9 ± 7.0 months, respectively. The mean VISA-H for the non-surgical and surgical groups were 87.3 ± 3.4 and 87.9 ± 4.1 (n.s.), respectively. The mean FASH for the non-surgical group was 89.3 ± 2.4 and 88 ± 3.6 for the surgical group (n.s.). This was consistent after adjusting for confounders. The mean gap for the non-surgical group was 4.5 ± 1.09 and 4.9 ± 1.19 cm for the surgical group (n.s.). No significant differences were found in the abilities to perform Nordic hamstring curls (n.s.). Both groups achieved comparable RTS rates (n.s.). On average, the non-surgical group achieved RTS at 5.5 ± 1.2 months post-injury, whereas the surgical group was at 5.7 ± 0.7 months (n.s.). Physically active individuals with acute proximal hamstring avulsions and distal retraction of the tendon stump can be managed non-surgically, achieving similar functional levels and RTS compared to patients treated surgically. Level III.
