Damage to or Injury of the Distal Semitendinosus Tendon During Sporting Activities: A Systematic Review

ConclusionIsolated, complete distal semitendinosus tears and avulsions remain infrequently reported during sporting activities and, in this review, occurred predominantly during non-contact activity. Athletes treated conservatively were found to return to sport more quickly, although additional studies are needed to determine the clinical relevance of treatment option, tear location, and concurrent injuries.
