In a systematic review examining 13 original studies, patient satisfaction ranged from 88% to 100% after surgical treatment. In nine of the studies strength of hamstrings were reported and ranged from 78% to 101% of the uninjured side. However, residual pain is common, ranging from 8 to 61% in a group of 203 patients and in a recent unpublished study the lower extremity functional score were similar in patients treated by either modality. Additionally, serious nerve injuries after surgery have been reported and infection, anchor failure and re-rupture occur. The reoperation rate in a study by Sarimo et al. was 12%.
