Coronal proton-density magnetic resonance image showing a Type-1 injury (osseous avulsion of the ischial tuberosity) in a fifteen-year-old boy who had recently sustained a mildly displaced

avulsion fracture of the right ischial tuberosity.

Sagittal proton-density magnetic resonance image demonstrating the retracted distal tendon edge (arrow).



Coronal fat-suppressed proton-density magnetic resonance image demonstrating a chronic Type-3 injury, with myxoid degeneration and incomplete avulsion at the deep margin of the right

hamstring origin (arrow).



Coronal fat-suppressed proton-density magnetic resonance image demonstrating a Type-4 injury (a nonretracted complete tear of the hamstring origin).



Coronal fat-suppressed proton-density magnetic resonance image demonstrating an acute Type-5a injury (a retracted complete avulsion of the hamstring origin).



Coronal fat-suppressed proton density magnetic resonance image demonstrating a chronic Type-5b injury (a retracted complete tear of the hamstring origin with sciatic nerve involvement).



Clinical photograph of the clinical deformity, made after a complete hamstring avulsion (a Type-5 injury) with retraction of the tendon ends and prominence of the muscle belly.
