The study targeted all patients undergoing PHAI repair during this time frame, ensuring a minimum follow-up of 8 years. The primary outcome measure used was the Parisian Hamstring Avulsion Score (PHAS). Secondary outcome measures included the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scale score and the Tegner activity scale score. A satisfaction survey was administered, the complication rate was assessed, and both the rate and quality of return to sport were analyzed. A subanalysis comparing acute (&lt;4 weeks) versus chronic (&gt;4 weeks) repairs was performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The study involved 139 patients with a mean age of 44.4 years (SD, 11.3 years) and a mean follow-up duration of 123.4 months (SD, 30.8 months). The PHAS at the last follow-up was 87.5 (SD, 14.9). This score was significantly affected by follow-up length (ANOVA-type statistic = 65.40497; df = 4.050724;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .0002), with post hoc analysis showing lower median scores at 2 years compared with 6 and 8 years (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .04 and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .001, respectively) and at 4 years compared with 6 and 8 years (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .001 and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .01, respectively). The UCLA activity scale score improved significantly from a preoperative mean of 3.1 (SD, 1.3) to 7.5 (SD, 2.5) at the final follow-up (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001). Similarly, the Tegner activity scale score increased from a mean of 1.8 (SD, 1.3) before surgery to 4.5 (SD, 2.1) at the final follow-up (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001). Satisfaction was reported by 87.8% of patients. Reruptures were recorded in 11 patients, accounting for 7.9% of the cases. Overall, 80% of the patients returned to the same type of sport postoperatively as before the injury, with 43.5% reaching the same preoperative level. Chronic repairs demonstrated 5.89-fold higher odds of achieving a low PHAS (OR, 5.89; 95% CI, 2.36-17.0;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Surgical repair of PHAI is associated with improved long-term functional outcomes. The PHAS is expected to increase over time until 8 years postoperatively. Chronic repairs carry nearly 6 times higher odds of poor long-term PHAS performance compared with acute repairs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259671251413602","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,10]],"date-time":"2026-02-10T10:57:32Z","timestamp":1770721052000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Long-term Outcomes and Return to Sport After Surgical Repair of Proximal Hamstring Avulsions: A \u22658-Year Follow-up Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Lef\u00e8vre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinique du sport, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2611-3938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamad K.","family":"Moussa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Groupe hospitalier S\u00e9l\u00e9stat-Obernai, S\u00e9l\u00e9stat, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zied","family":"Nouira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinique du sport, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eug\u00e9nie","family":"Valentin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinique du sport, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoann","family":"Bohu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinique du sport, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Gerometta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinique du sport, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frederic","family":"Khiami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinique du sport, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinique du sport, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Grimaud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinique du sport, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandre","family":"Hardy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinique du sport, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198466020-00010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546519879117"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2011-090534"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546506294679"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-013-2817-0"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jisakos-2019-000420"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","first-page":"160","article-title":"Surgical refixation after proximal hamstring tendon avulsion injuries: does the time of surgery influence functional outcomes?","volume":"31","author":"Best R","year":"2017","unstructured":"Best R, Eberle J, Beck F, Huth J, Becker U.
