Abstract

Open surgical repair of proximal hamstring avulsions has been the standard of care for a long time, when surgery is needed. Endoscopic repair is a relatively new surgery, and its popularity increased in the last 10 years. This technique allows the surgeon an anatomic repair and a safe sciatic nerve exploration with small incisions and dissection. As a new technique, it has its limitations, mostly in chronic retracted tears, and long follow-up series are needed to assess long-term outcomes. We present an endoscopic repair of a right proximal hamstring avulsion performed along with a sciatic nerve neurolysis.
