Importantly,
In
general, the injured part of the muscletendon unit does not predict return to play,
with one important exception: in highperformance
sprinters,
proximal
biceps
femoris strains may extend proximally to
involve the free tendon, and, in these cases,
recovery takes, on average, three times longer
(35 weeks vs 12 weeks when only the
proximal myotendinous junction is injured).
