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

ABSTRACT: 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
