The ischiocrural muscle complex is the most frequently injured musculotendineous structure in athletes. Indirect trauma, typically during sprints or jumps, is the most common mechanism leading to muscle strains of this anatomical structure. However, proximal ruptures of the entire ischiocrural tendon complex at the ischial tuberosity represent a rare injury and reports in the literature are limited.
