“…Hamstring injuries are one of the most common muscle lesions in many sports including soccer, American football, Australian rules football and athletics. [1][2][3][4][5] Previous studies have recorded hamstring injury prevalence ranging from 23% to 50% of muscle injuries in sports. [6][7][8] In most instances, a hamstring injury is caused by indirect trauma associated with non-contact activities that require sprinting, jumping and ballistic movements of the lower limb.…”

IntroductionHamstring injury among athletes often results in significant morbidity. Currently, there are controversies regarding the clinical use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the treatment of acute hamstring injury.Methods and analysisThis study is a single-centre double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial. Sixty-eight patients will be randomised to receive under ultrasound guidance either a single injection of leucocyte-rich PRP (LR-PRP) or normal saline. All patients will undergo a standardised hamstring rehabilitation programme under the supervision of a sports physiotherapist. Outcome data will be collected before intervention (baseline), and thereafter on a weekly basis. The primary outcome measure is the duration to return-to-play. It is defined as the duration (in days) from the date on which the injury occurred until the patients were pain-free, able to perform the active knee extension test and have regained hamstring muscle strength. Secondary outcome measures include assessment of pain intensity and the effect of pain on to day-to-day functions using the self-reported Brief Pain Inventory—Short Form questionnaire. Both the primary and secondary outcomes were assessed at baseline and thereafter once a week until return to play. Also, hamstring injury recurrence within the first 6 months after recovery will be monitored via telephone. The results of this study will provide insights into the effect of LR-PRP in muscle and may help to identify the best PRP application protocol for muscle injuries.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval were obtained from the Medical Research Ethics Committee of the University of Malaya Medical Centre. Results of this trial will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.Trial registration numberISRCTN76844299.

“…Studies classify muscle injuries differently depending on its location, size, and cause. Traditional muscle injury classification systems were devised by O'Donoghue (7), Ryan (8), and Askling (from van der Made et al (9)). As is the case with other muscle injuries, hamstring strains are classified depending on the degree of damage to the muscular-tendon junction.…”

Background. Hamstring muscle injuries are among the most common traumas occurring in athletes and football players. Thus, the rehabilitation time is crucial for their return to full athlete activity. Objective. Knee active range of motion deficit after the hamstring injury in futsal players correlates with rehabilitation time. The objective is to examine cases of hamstring structural injury in futsal players and find association between the Active Range of Motion (AROM) deficit and rehabilitation time. Methods. For this study, 200 futsal players with acute, first-time, unilateral posterior hamstring injuries were recruited, all men. All patients underwent clinical examination and ultrasonography. In 74 of 200 patients, sonography revealed no abnormalities in the musculoligamentary structures. Thereby, they were excluded from further investigation. Only 126 futsal players underwent the active range of motion testing. Injured areas were compared with the normal hamstrings in all athletes and with the control group. The AROM deficit was evaluated. The association between time to full recovery and the AROM deficit was identified. A control group (100 men) underwent examination in the same series of steps as the study group. Results. Biceps femoris was the most commonly injured muscle, making up 80% of injuries. The musculotendinous junction, proximal and distal, was involved in 91% of injury cases. Twelve athletes had an AROM deficit of 26 to 35 degrees. For them, the average length of the recovery period was 2.5 months at its minimum. Seventy or 55.5% of athletes had an AROM deficit less than 15 degrees. These athletes felt fully recovered after 3-4 weeks of rehabilitation. Conclusions: The active range of knee movement deficiency is an indicator that allows an objective prediction of rehabilitation time in futsal players.
