Accelerated rehabilitation after proximal hamstring avulsion repair is safe and effective: Outcomes from randomized controlled trial of two different rehabilitation regimes
This randomized controlled trial compares accelerated and conservative rehabilitation after proximal hamstring repair, indicating both approaches are safe and effective.
Key Points
Both rehabilitation groups showed significant improvement in all patient-reported outcome measures, confirming their effectiveness.
At 6 months, no significant differences were found in patient satisfaction, re-injuries, or knee torque between the two groups.
The prospective randomized controlled trial evaluated outcomes over 6 months in 53 patients after surgical repair of proximal hamstring tendon avulsions.
Findings suggest the safety and efficacy of post-operative rehabilitation allowing weight-bearing activities without bracing.
