Complete rupture of the distal semimembranosus tendon with secondary hamstring muscles atrophy: MR findings in two cases
- 1. Dept. of Radiology, Hospital Juan Canalejo, La Coruna (Spain)
Description
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 semimenbranosus tendon, which clinically presented as soft-tissue masses. MR imaging permitted the correct diagnosis. There has been only one other such case reported. (orig.)
