AANA Hip Arthroscopy - September 2024-Debate

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses pro-endoscopic proximal hamstring repair, emphasizing the spectrum of hamstring pathology from tendinopathies to full-thickness tears. Indications for surgery include significant retraction, high-demand patients, acute injuries, and cramping. The endoscopic approach is preferred for tendinopathies, chronic partial-thickness, and minimally retracted full-thickness tears, offering better access, safer nerve protection, and less infection risk. Open repair is reserved for acute, retracted tears. The speaker details the surgical technique, highlighting careful nerve management and tendon repair. Outcomes show good function and low re-rupture rates. Endoscopic repair is favored for its advantages analogous to arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
