Symtom:
Smärta och/eller svaghet i muskulaturen uppstår vanligtvis snabbt på baksidan av låret och uppträder ofta i samband med en explosiv rörelse som exempelvis en spurt.
Kliniska fynd:
Isometrisk knäflexion kan utlösa smärta.
Diagnostik:
MR-undersökning ska alltid göras vid misstanke om proximal hamstringsruptur.
