Proximal tendon avulsion of the hamstring insertion is a rare entity. The therapeutic approach is different in contrast to the treatment in common muscle tears. The greater benefit of surgical treatment has been widely verified in the literature, and given the low frequency of this type of injury, few orthopedic surgeons are used to both diagnosis and surgical procedures in this anatomical region. The aim of this article is to report four patients with insertional hamstring rupture and describe the surgical technique used in each case. We present the surgical variants as well as the outcomes achieved.

Keywords : Hamstrings; surgical treatment; functional outcome; sports.
