Need a Doc in NY to repair a Hamstring Avulsion??

[Jennyg28]

Does anyone know of a good doctor in the Tri-State area that can repair a Hamstring Avulsion? My mom just found out she has a complete tear of the Hamstring.

We are trying to find a doctor that has done this surgery before.

If anyone else has any information on their surgery, pointers or advice please contact me.

Thanks so much

Hello,

I'm a woman (from the Netherlands) , just 50 years old. I had a complete hamstring avulsion on 27-10-2009 (when skeeting). I also saw a orthopedic doctor. He decided to have no surgery, because he had some good results with other patients.
Now (almost 3 months further) I still have difficulties with walking, pain at the backside of the leg when sitting, and it's impossible to run.
I'm a very active person (skeeting, tennis, squash, mountainbiking ).
Does anyone have experiance with having no operation?
And Jenny, did your mother already got her surgery?
