What is the difference between a hamstring and ischial tuberosity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle vs bone: There are three muscles on the back of the femur (thigh bone) that run from your hip to your knee and are collectively called the "hamstrings". The ischial tuberosity is the name of the bony area where the top of the hamstrings attach.
