Endoscopic Repair of the Proximal Hamstring [PDF]

Video Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021
Background: Proximal hamstring injuries are increasingly common. While open repair with suture anchors placed in the ischial tuberosity has long been the gold standard technique for surgical management, endoscopic techniques can allow for smaller incisions, reduced wound complications, and an expedited recovery.
