Abstract
Endoscopic proximal hamstring repair is an emerging technique that is gaining popularity. Currently there are several surgical techniques published on how to perform endoscopic proximal hamstring repairs. In this chapter, we discuss our surgical technique on how to perform an endoscopic proximal hamstring repair. Additionally, we detail the advantages and disadvantages, the pearls and pitfalls, and our postoperative protocol for endoscopic proximal hamstring repair.
