Summary:A 46-year-old man presents with left knee bucking 3 months after open reduction and internal fixation of a left knee inferior pole patella fracture. Radiograph and magnetic resonance imaging evaluation reveal displacement and comminution of the inferior pole of the patella confirming failure of the repair. The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the surgical management of failed inferior pole patella fractures using suture anchors for repair of the patella tendon and augmentation with ipsilateral autologous hamstring grafts.

“…Knee surgeries often harvest hamstrings tendons, potentially increasing the risk for future hamstrings injuries. When harvesting hamstrings tendons for surgical purpose, such as patellar tendon ( Friedman et al, 2020 ) or ACL reconstruction ( Keyhani et al, 2020 ), iatrogenic nerve injuries can occur ( Colombet and Graveleau, 2016 ; Ruffilli et al, 2017 ). For example, the common fibular nerve emerges posterior to the BF distal tendon, to which it adheres ( Standring, 2015 ); collecting part of the BF tendon for knee surgeries presents considerable risks.…”

“…For example, the common fibular nerve emerges posterior to the BF distal tendon, to which it adheres ( Standring, 2015 ); collecting part of the BF tendon for knee surgeries presents considerable risks. Consequently, the ST has been a common choice (comparable to gracilis in terms of effects) for transfer in surgical treatments ( Yasin et al, 2010 ; Colombet and Graveleau, 2016 ), including those for the ACL ( Horteur et al, 2020 ; Keyhani et al, 2020 ), medial collateral ligament ( Cao et al, 2016 ) and patellar tendon ( Jain et al, 2014 ; Friedman et al, 2020 ).…”

The incidence and recurrence of hamstrings injuries are very high in sports, posing elevated performance and financial-related costs. Attempts to identify the risk factors involved in predicting vulnerability to hamstrings injury is important for designing exercise-based programs that aim to mitigate the rate and severity of hamstrings injuries and improve rehabilitation strategies. However, research has shown that non-modifiable risk factors may play a greater role than modifiable risk factors. Recognizing non-modifiable risk factors and understanding their implications will afford the prescription of better suited exercise programs, i.e., that are more respectful of the individual characteristics. In a nutshell, non-modifiable risk factors can still be acted upon, even if indirectly. In this context, an underexplored topic is how intra and inter- individual anatomic and physiologic variations in hamstrings (e.g., muscle bellies, fiber types, tendon length, aponeurosis width, attachment sites, sex- and age-related differences) concur to alter hamstrings injuries risk. Some anatomic and physiologic variations may be modifiable through exercise interventions (e.g., cross-sectional area), while others may not (e.g., supernumerary muscle bellies). This apparent dichotomy may hide a greater complexity, i.e., there may be risk factors that are partially modifiable. Therefore, we explored the available information on the anatomic variations of the hamstrings, providing a deeper insight into the individual risk factors for hamstrings injuries and contributing with better knowledge and potential applications toward a more individualized exercise prescription.
