Partnering with Sportsmedicine Physicians
when no hamstring specialist is nearby
Does this sound like your sports medicine practice?
You already recognise a proximal hamstring rupture on MRI.
What’s harder, especially in low‑volume or mixed SEM settings, is deciding when surgery is truly worth it, and explaining that clearly to an anxious, high‑expectation athlete.
You’re working in a space where:
The nearest hamstring surgeon is hours away, and sending every grey-zone case is not realistic.
Surgery vs. rehab decisions carry real downstream consequences, yet this niche sits well outside most general sportsmedical training.
You’d value a second, highly specific hamstring opinion - without losing the patient or blurring referral boundaries.
Patients arrive armed with AI summaries, forums, and horror stories, not structured expectations.
You don’t have the time, or incentive, to build high-quality hamstring education, but you also don’t want to leave an information vacuum.
If this sounds familiar, you don’t need more generic info sheets.
You need access to a remote hamstring specialist brain - someone who speaks MRI nuance, operative thresholds, & long-term rehab reality - while you retain full control of local care, decision-making, and follow-up.
How the collaboration works
-
Your patient optionally books a deep hamstring decision consultation
(Hamstring Surgery Clarity Audit - HSCA).You and the patient receive my structured written summary of the analysis:
How their MRI / findings fit current evidence and typical patterns
The realistic options and trade‑offs we discussed
Points to clarify with you and any local surgeon
Additionally, you get access to a complete hamstring education toolkit, at no cost, to share with your patients.
Together, this allows you to:
Make safer, more confident surgery‑vs‑rehab decisions
Set clearer, more realistic patient expectations
Do so without additional time burden, cost, or legal exposure to your practice
If that sounds useful, I’m happy to talk and hear what a “win” would look like for your region and patient load.
