Hamstring Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to investigate pain, function and quality of life before and 10-12 months after surgical repair and/or rehabilitation of hamstrings avulsion
Interventions
PROCEDUREOrthopaedic surgery and/or rehabilitation
The avulsion is repaired and hereafter the patient follows rehabilitation. Some are treated conservatively and only follow rehabilitation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Perth Hamstring Assessment Tool (PHAT) (0-100 scale) | Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery on the 0-100 scale. | Overall tool and pain subscale during sitting, steps and relaxing separately extracted. 0 indicates total problems and 100 no problems. |
| Knee flexion strength of affected leg (Newton meters per kilogram) | Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery | Maximal knee flexion strength of affected leg expressed as newton meters per kilogram, measured with a handheld dynamometer |
| Hip extension strength of affected leg (Newton meters per kilogram) | Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery | Maximal hip extension strength of affected leg expressed as newton meters per kilogram, measured with a handheld dynamometer |
| Overall health | Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery on the 0-100 scale | 0-100 continuous scale (0 worst imaginable health, 100 best imaginable health) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hip extension strength of contralateral leg (Newton meters per kilogram) | Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery | Maximal hip extension strength of contralateral leg expressed as newton meters per kilogram, measured with a handheld dynamometer |
| Hip Sports Activity Scale (0-8 scale) | Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery on the 0-8 scale | Type of activity before injury and present 0, no activity, 8 athlete level. |
| Knee flexion strength of contralateral leg (Newton meters per kilogram) | Change from before surgery to 10-12 months after surgery | Maximal knee flexion strength of contralateral leg expressed as newton meters per kilogram, measured with a handheld dynamometer |
