Proximal Hamstring Tendon Tear/Avulsion

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know this injury affects the tendons at my sit bone, below my buttock, that help bend my knee and move my hip.
   • I may tear them during a slip, sprint, or sudden stretch, such as waterskiing.
   • I know an avulsion pulls a tendon off the bone and may pull off a bone chip, especially in young athletes.
   • I protect my leg from running, deep forward bends, and forceful stretching until my team sets safe limits.
