Proximal Hamstring Repair With All-Suture Anchors and an Accelerated Rehabilitation and Bracing Protocol Demonstrates Good Outcomes at 1-Year Follow-Up.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate patient-reported outcomes and risk for rerupture after surgical treatment of proximal hamstring tendon ruptures using all-suture anchors and a unique postoperative bracing strategy.

Methods

A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database was conducted of patients undergoing proximal hamstring repair or reconstruction from 2020 to 2022 at a tertiary, academic institution. Patients were included if they reached minimum 1-year follow-up and completed postoperative patient-reported outcomes. The surgical protocol for proximal hamstring repairs included all-suture anchors placed either in an open or endoscopic fashion in the ischial tuberosity. After surgery, all patients underwent an accelerated rehabilitation protocol, including 6 weeks touchdow
