Traumatic Isolated Avulsion Rupture of the Distal Semitendinosus Tendon in a Non-athlete

Isolated distal semitendinosus (ST) injuries remain an uncommon hamstring injury, with avulsion ruptures reported even less frequently. These injuries occur due to eccentric overloading seen in sprinting or jumping injuries. Treatment ranges from conservative management to surgical tenotomy or reatt...

description Isolated distal semitendinosus (ST) injuries remain an uncommon hamstring injury, with avulsion ruptures reported even less frequently. These injuries occur due to eccentric overloading seen in sprinting or jumping injuries. Treatment ranges from conservative management to surgical tenotomy or reattachment to the tibial bone. We present a unique case of a 30-year-old male with an isolated avulsion rupture of the distal ST tendon after a fall. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature of an isolated distal ST injury in a non-athlete due to trauma.
