Question 1

what problems are there after surgical repair of hamstring tendon?

Accepted Answer

Hamstring surgery: Depending on where along the hamstring your surgery was:  weakness, stiffness, sciatica, cramping, early fatigue during muscle contraction.

Question 2

would a hamstring tendon tear cause the hamstring to be sensitive and feel wider/bulgier?

Accepted Answer

Yes: it would be tender, bruised and you would probably feel a knot whew the tendon has balled up.

Question 3

what are the symptoms of having a hamstring tendon injury? also what kind of treatment is used to treat this condition? will therapy help?

Accepted Answer

: You would typically encounter pain and stiffness over posterior upper leg.  Typically this is a strain/ sprain type of issue which should respond to heat stretching, and physical therapy.  However, if not responsive to these measures, would need evaluation for more significant injury.

Question 4

mri report says, moderate tendinosis with superimposed high-grade strain at the right hamstring tendon origin. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Tendinois: Definition of tendinosis is pathology of chronic degeneration without inflammation.  This is happening to you at the origin of the hamstring.  Treatment is ususally relative rest.

Question 5

i have a hamstring tendon avulsion.  i've had physical therapy, but after six months it continues to hurt. what are my rehab options?

Accepted Answer

Eccentric training: The best evidence comes from norway which would suggest eccentric strengthening program where your hamstrings work while they are getting longer.....Example is kneeling then slowly lean forward.

Question 6

what do i do after being diagnosed with an achilles tendon rupture to my rt leg following a sporting injury?

Accepted Answer

Get treat. options: Achilles ruptures can be treated either operatively or non-operatively.  The important  points cannot be covered entirely here.  See an orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon in your area:

Question 7

how far does the achilles tendon ascend in the leg? what is a common diagnostic tool to diagnose injury/disease of the tendon that isn't ruptured?

Accepted Answer

1/3 up the leg: Achilles tendon merges into your gastro-soleus muscles about 1/3 up the leg from the heel.  MRI is the best diagnostic tool to see inflammatory changes or tears.  Real time Ultrasound examination shows full thickness tears.

Question 8

is it normal to have a hard plaster cast on my leg for a partial achilles tendon rupture?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The cast will immobilize the foot, ankle and tendon to allow the tendon to heal.

Question 9

ruptured tendon in calf week ago-dr gave me stretching exercises but leg hurts after all day- shud i take pain killers to stretch more so heals better?

Accepted Answer

Degree of rupture? : Yes, but this does depend on the degree of rupture. The most common rupture near the calf is the achilles tendon, and if you had a full rupture, or even a significant rupture, stretching may not be the best things as it will cause less approximation of the tendon to heal. I have not seen your imaging or know how much function you have in it, but you may need a second opinion.

Question 10

ant tib rupture missed last oct. now scarred down lengthened -weakened muscle use. can tendon be fixed this late? pain leg/arch tenosynovitis post tib

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Usually muscles shorten, or contract.  It is rare for a muscle to heal lengthened after a tear or rupture.  Repair is possible but has a lower chance of success this late.  Tendon transfer has a better chance of success. You need a thorough evaluation by a foot specialist
