Biceps femoris tendon rupture can occur when the biceps femoris is injured in sports that require explosive bending of the knee as seen in sprinting.

This most commonly occurs where the long head attaches to the ischial tuberosity.

Injuries to biceps femoris are more common than to other hamstring muscles.

One theory for this is the fact that each of the two heads are innervated by different branches of the sciatic nerve.

technique should be administered, however, a sports injury specialist is recommended for the possibility of surgery.
