Injuries to the hamstring complex most commonly involve the proximal musculotendinous junction of the long head of the biceps femoris (MTJ-BFlh).

To our knowledge, the surgical management of acute MTJ-BFlh injuries has not been previously reported. In conclusion, surgical repair of acute MTJ-BFlh injuries enables return to preinjury level of sporting function with low risk of recurrence at short-term follow-up.   Click here to read the article.
