Complete rupture of the distal semimembranosus tendon with secondary hamstring muscles atrophy: MR findings in two cases

J R Varela et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2000 Jun.

Abstract

Complete rupture of the hamstring muscles is a rare injury. The proximal musculo-tendinous junction is the most frequent site of rupture. We present two cases of complete rupture of the distal semimembranosus tendon, which clinically presented as soft-tissue masses. MR imaging permitted the correct diagnosis. There has been only one other such case reported.
