The contemporary treatment of hamstring avulsions has been evolving, as more patients are being identified as having persistently symptomatic partial hamstring tears recalcitrant to nonoperative treatment. The endoscopic hamstring repair allows surgeons improved visualization of the footprint, as well as safe dissection of the sciatic nerve. The present technique article provides a step-by-step technical note to allow for safe and effective surgical treatment of partial hamstring tears.
