AANA Hip Arthroscopy - September 2024-Debate

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Brian Giordano discusses open proximal hamstring repair as a preferred treatment for hamstring tears, emphasizing its versatility and effectiveness over non-operative and endoscopic methods in complex cases. He highlights injury causes, typical imaging, and complications like sciatic nerve issues and chronic pain. While endoscopic repairs suit small tears, open surgery allows better visualization, especially for severe or chronic injuries, with favorable biomechanical outcomes and low major complication rates. Recovery involves immobilization and gradual strengthening. Giordano advocates open repair for its reproducibility, comprehensive nerve protection, cosmetically acceptable incisions, and strong, lasting patient results, maintaining it as a standard of care.
