Abstract

Read online

Endoscopic repair of hamstring tears is well described in the literature, but endoscopic management for significantly retracted hamstring tears is not well described. Currently, repairing a hamstring tendon that has retracted 8 cm or more from the footprint on the ischial tuberosity is performed as an open procedure. The technique described here details endoscopic repair of retracted hamstring tears using a suture pulley mechanism and an inferomedial portal.
