Endoscopic Proximal Hamstring Tendon Repair With Knotless Suture-Bridge Technique
Abstract
Symptomatic proximal hamstring tendon tears are typically repaired surgically, with open incision and knot-tying technique. An endoscopic, knotless, suture-bridge repair technique is presented. Potential advantages include knotless simplicity, compression over a broad zone to improve tendon–bone healing, and decreased pain secondary to elimination of knots and the open incision and approach.
