Endoscopic management has become an effective method to repair proximal hamstring injuries. However, due to the complexity of such a procedure, the dissemination of the technique of endoscopic hamstring repair has occurred slowly among orthopaedic surgeons. This Technical Note with a video modifies previously described techniques and provides safer and more simplified endoscopic management of proximal hamstring injuries.
