The prognostic value of MRI in determining reinjury risk following acute hamstring injury: a systematic review.

CONCLUSION: There is currently no strong evidence for any MRI finding in predicting hamstring re-injury risk. Intratendinous injuries and biceps femoris injuries showed moderate evidence for association with a higher re-injury risk. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: Registration in the PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews was performed prior to study initiation (registration number CRD42015024620).
