Opinion on hamstring repair please

Hi all,

I would appreciate your opinions regarding hamstring repair!

Our surgeons have recently started repairing these tears- in this case, a friend of mine (58 and active snowboarder) with complete tear last week (1cm retraction of BT/ST, 5cm retraction of SM) the surgeon said it’s 50:50 whether to operate. Patient’s main concern is being able to snowboard again.

My inclination would be to let it heal on its own, but I’m old school. Any thoughts?

Thank you!!
Bill Morrison
