Specialized Toolkit Series: Arthroscopic Hip Treatments-Hamstring Tendon & Deep Gluteal Space Endoscopy

Hamstring Tendon & Deep Gluteal Space Endoscopy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This presentation by Joshua Harris outlines the procedure for endoscopic proximal hamstring repair. Positioned prone, the patient's hip is flexed, abducted, and in neutral rotation. The procedure uses a three or four portal approach for arthroscopic tools. The surgery includes bursectomy for visualization, neural structure identification, and managing adhesions. Sutures are placed using suture anchors with careful consideration of neurovascular proximity. Multiple suture configurations are employed, followed by knot tying to secure the repair. The procedure concludes with assessing repair stability and neurovascular proximity, guiding post-surgery rehabilitation.
