Endoscopic repair of proximal hamstring avulsion.

ABSTRACT: Hamstring muscle injuries are common in athletes and mostly consist of sprains at the myotendinous junction, which often respond well to conservative treatment. Proximal hamstring avulsion injuries, though less common, can be severely debilitating. This injury is often seen in water skiers but has been described in many other sports and in middle-aged patients. Complete avulsions in young and active individuals do not respond well to conservative treatment and may require surgical repair. In contrast, many partial tears may be treated nonoperatively. However, when symptoms continue despite a trial of extensive therapy, surgery may be warranted. Traditional surgery for proximal hamstring repair is performed with the patient in the prone position with an incision made longitudinally or along the gluteal fold, followed by identification of the torn tendons and fixation to the ischial tuberosity. We describe a novel surgical technique for endoscopic repair of proximal hamstring avulsion injuries.

Endoscopic Repair of Proximal Adductor Avulsion.

Project description:Optimal treatment of complete grade 3 tears of the adductor longus tendon from the pubic body has support for both nonsurgical management and surgical reattachment. We demonstrate the feasibility of endoscopic reattachment of an adductor avulsion with >3 cm of retraction. Using our previously described anterior pubic symphyseal portal and an anteromedial adductor portal, initial diagnostic endoscopy is followed by debridement of adhesions, preparation of the pubic body bony footprint, secure passage of suture tape through the avulsed tendon, reduction of the avulsed tendon, and knotless suture anchor reattachment. Endoscopic primary repair is a technically feasible, minimally invasive option in the treatment of retracted grade 3 adductor tears.

Endoscopic-Assisted Anatomic Reconstruction of Chronic Proximal Hamstring Avulsion With Achilles Allograft.

Project description:Hamstring injuries commonly occur at the musculotendinous junction; however, they can occur as proximal avulsion injuries. A lack of recognition can lead to proximal hamstring injuries being frequently misdiagnosed, resulting in delayed treatment. Chronic proximal hamstring tears are often retracted and scarred to the surrounding soft tissues. Owing to the poor quality of tissue at the torn ends of the tendon, an augmented reconstruction using an allograft may be required. In cases with poor visualization of the ischial tuberosity and proximal hamstring footprint, an Achilles tendon allograft can be secured directly to the tuberosity with suture anchors. However, visualization of the footprint can be optimized using an arthroscope. This report describes a technique for endoscopic-assisted anatomic reconstruction using an Achilles allograft with both knotless and knotted suture anchors for chronic complete avulsions of the proximal hamstring.

Endoscopic proximal hamstring repair and ischial bursectomy.

Project description:With the significant increase in use of the arthroscope around the hip have come several less invasive techniques to manage pathologies around this joint. This technical note with a video details one such technique that allows for the endoscopic management of proximal hamstring tears and chronic ischial bursitis, which until now have been managed exclusively with much larger open approaches. This procedure allows for complete exposure of the posterior aspect of the hip in a safe, minimally invasive fashion.

A combined endoscopic and open surgical approach for chronic retracted proximal hamstring avulsion.

Project description:Proximal hamstring avulsion is an uncommon injury which usually requires surgical intervention. When possible, primary surgical fixation is recommended. In chronic hamstring avulsion with significant retraction of the tendon, hamstring reconstructions using an autograft or allograft are required in order to bridge the gap. This is mainly performed using an open surgical technique. We describe a combined endoscopic and open surgical approach to hamstring reconstruction surgery.

All-Endoscopic Modified Krackow Suture for Proximal Hamstring Repair

Project description:Surgical repair of proximal hamstring injuries can relieve pain and restore lower extremity function in active individuals. Whereas traditional surgical techniques are performed via an open approach, more recent endoscopic proximal hamstring repair techniques have proven safe, effective, and potentially associated with fewer complications than open repair. One theorized disadvantage of existing endoscopic techniques is reduced security at the suture-tendon interface, as compared to open surgery, during which a running suture technique, such as a Krackow stitch, may be employed. In this article, we present a technique for increasing suture purchase by performing an all-endoscopic, running, locking stitch during proximal hamstring repair. Technique Video Video 1 Surgical technique video outlining the steps for an endoscopic proximally hamstring repair. Specifically, the video outlines a modified suture repair configuration, the modified Krackow, to replicate the biomechanical suture-tendon fixation of an open hamstring repair. This surgical video outlines portal placement, identification of relevant anatomy and pathology, anchor placement, suture passage, and final suture configuration.

Combined endoscopic and mini-open repair of chronic complete proximal hamstring tendon avulsion: a novel approach and short-term outcomes.

Project description:To evaluate the outcome of a novel, combined endoscopic and mini-open repair (CEMR) of a chronic complete retracted proximal hamstring tendon avulsion (PHA). A retrospective case series of a single-surgeon database for all patients, with a minimum of 1-year follow-up, who underwent CEMR between July 2015 and September 2019 was performed. Patients were evaluated for their functional outcome using the Perth Hamstring Assessment Tool (PHAT). At the latest follow-up, patients were evaluated for their muscle strength, subjective satisfaction and post-operative complications. Twelve patients who underwent endoscopic surgery for chronic PHA were identified, of which seven patients underwent CEMR. After exclusion of one patient from the study due to an open claim for health insurance, six patients (five males) with a mean age of 48 years (range 20-61 years) were evaluated. The mean time from injury to surgery was 12 months (range 2-43 months). At a mean follow-up of 28 months (range 12-55 months), the average PHAT score was 73 (range 70-80). The mean subjective activity level percentage improved from 34 (range 20-50) pre-surgery to 81 (range 75-90) post-surgery. The mean strength of the quadriceps, hamstring at 30°, and hamstring at 90° of the operated leg compared to the uninjured leg did not differ significantly. One patient underwent adhesiolysis 1 year after the index procedure for treatment of subcutaneous adhesions. CEMR is a viable and safe option for the treatment of chronic complete proximal hamstring tears, with good to excellent short-term functional outcome. Level of evidence: IV.

Endoscopic Repair of Proximal Hamstring Insertion With Sciatic Nerve Neurolysis.

Project description:Open surgical repair of proximal hamstring avulsions has been the standard of care for a long time, when surgery is needed. Endoscopic repair is a relatively new surgery, and its popularity increased in the last 10 years. This technique allows the surgeon an anatomic repair and a safe sciatic nerve exploration with small incisions and dissection. As a new technique, it has its limitations, mostly in chronic retracted tears, and long follow-up series are needed to assess long-term outcomes. We present an endoscopic repair of a right proximal hamstring avulsion performed along with a sciatic nerve neurolysis.

Endoscopic transtendinous repair for partial-thickness proximal hamstring tendon tears.

Project description:Partial tears of the proximal hamstring tendon can successfully be managed with tendon repair in cases of failed conservative management. As in partial-thickness gluteus medius repair, a transtendinous technique can be used to repair partial-thickness undersurface tears of the hamstring origin. This report details an endoscopic transtendinous approach for the treatment of partial-thickness hamstring tendon tears.

Endoscopic Proximal Hamstring Tendon Repair for Nonretracted Tears: An Anatomic Approach and Repair Technique.

Project description:Proximal hamstring injuries are common, and open surgical repair with suture anchors has been the gold standard when surgical intervention is warranted. Endoscopic techniques offer the opportunity of surgical repair with smaller incisions to limit complications and expedite rehabilitation. The purpose of this technique guide is to describe a modified endoscopic technique that allows a safe and anatomic repair of proximal hamstring injuries. The patient is positioned prone with the feet at the head of the bed, table in reverse Trendelenburg, and knees flexed to 90°. Four portals are used, 3 in horizontal alignment within the gluteal fold and 1 directly superior to the ischial tuberosity. The sciatic nerve is identified, dissected, and mobilized away from the operative field. Retraction sutures help retract the gluteus maximus and further protect the sciatic nerve. Dissection is within the interval between the conjoint and semimembranosus tendons. The tendons are freed and mobilized, the ischial tuberosity is decorticated, and an anatomic repair is performed via 4 suture anchors, 2 at each tendon footprint. Advancements in arthroscopy have permitted adequate visualization and exposure of the hamstring footprint, thus allowing for an anatomic repair with increased protection of the sciatic nerve and decreased resources and cost.

Proximal Rectus Femoris Avulsion Repair.

Project description:Proximal rectus femoris tendon avulsions are rare and occur mostly in male athletes. Currently, the standard of care for complete tendinous avulsions of the direct arm of the rectus femoris is nonoperative treatment. However, surgical repair may be considered in high-level athletes who have a high demand for repetitive hip flexion performed in an explosive manner or in patients in whom nonoperative treatment has failed. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the method for surgical repair of the proximal direct arm of the rectus femoris to its origin at the anterior inferior iliac spine using suture anchors.
