Proximal Hamstring Syndrome: Repair and Ischial Bursectomy

The increase in analyzing hip intra-articular injuries has led to an exponential understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of many injuries and pathologies around the hip. Previously, many of these conditions were either undertreated or treated with open surgical procedures. This chapter details 1 evolving technique that allows for the endoscopic management of proximal hamstring tears and chronic ischial bursitis. Until now, these have been managed exclusively with much larger open approaches. This procedure allows for complete exposure of the posterior aspect of the hip in a safe minimally invasive manner, while addressing the various pathologies.
