Patients with acute or chronic, partial, or complete proximal hamstring tears who underwent open surgical repair, completed preoperative and postoperative PROMS, and had a minimum follow\u2010up of 24\u2009months were included. PROMs included: Perth Hamstring Assessment Tool (PHAT); Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS); Hip Outcome Score (HOS), including the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Sports subscales; and 12\u2010Item Short Forms Survey Questionnaire (SF\u201012). Patients were stratified into 2 cohorts depending on age at time of surgery: those under versus those 60\u2009years and older (U\u201060 and O\u201060, respectively). Univariate analysis was performed to compare cohort demographics and clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Fifty\u2010five of the 59 eligible patients met the inclusion requirements of the study. The U\u201060 cohort included 36 patients with a mean age of 49.3 (21.8\u201058.6) years and the O\u201060 cohort included 19 patients with a mean age of 66 (60.0\u201075.0) years. The mean follow\u2010up time was 23.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.44\u2009months for the O\u201060 group and 23.4\u2009\u00b1\u20090.50\u2009months for the U\u201060 group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.664).
