Surgical outcomes of arthroscopic proximal hamstring repair

Arthroscopy Jan 31, 2021

Lau BC, Fletcher A, Hutyra C, et al. - This study was sought to present results of arthroscopic proximal hamstring repair. Between 2014 and 2017, researchers conducted a retrospective analysis on patients who had undergone arthroscopic proximal hamstring repair for ruptures involving ≥ 2 tendons by a single senior sports medicine trained Orthopaedic surgeon. They obtained demographic, operative, and clinical data, including a preoperative and postoperative range of motion and strength, complications, and subjective patient outcomes. They further performed Student’s T-tests and Chi-Squared analyses, and a probability of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. The study included a total of 27 patients with a minimum two-year follow-up. It was shown that arthroscopic hamstring repair indicates excellent outcomes with 100% return to play, 70% complete resolution of pain, 85% return to baseline activity levels, and only a 7% complication rate. The data demonstrated that published rates of open hamstring repair are 79.75% return to play, but with a complication rate of 23.17%. It was shown that arthroscopic repair of hamstring tendon tears warrants consideration over the open surgical repair.
