Sponsor's own description

The purpose of this study is to provide reliable evidence on how to best treat proximal hamstrings avulsions, and our primary aim is to compare the reported outcome of patients treated non-operatively with patients treated with suture anchor reattachment of the tendons using the Perth Hamstrings Assessment Tool (PHAT) at 24 months.
