Abstract
Case: A 53-year-old man presented with simultaneous, bilateral proximal hamstring ruptures. He underwent open, staged surgical repair of the proximal hamstrings, followed by a modified course of rehabilitation. At 2-year follow-up, the patient reports excellent outcomes. Conclusion: Simultaneous, bilateral, 3-tendon rupture of the proximal hamstrings is a rare lower extremity injury. Surgical treatment of such injuries presents several unique challenges. Staged surgical repair is an effective treatment option.
