Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

Proximal hamstring tendon injuries are common in athletes, causing significant functional impairment.
Current literature offers varied recommendations for managing these injuries, highlighting a need for standardized techniques.

Observation:

A case report details the open surgical repair of a proximal hamstring tendon rupture in a 27-year-old male.
A double-row, all-knotless suture bridge construct with four anchors was employed for anatomical repair.

Findings:

The surgical technique provided biomechanical soundness, adequate strength, and stability for the hamstring tendon repair.
The patient experienced an uncomplicated recovery, returning to all pre-injury activities within four months.
Hip and knee range of motion and strength returned to preoperative levels by the four-month postoperative follow-up.

Implications:

This reproducible surgical technique offers a viable option for proximal hamstring tendon ruptures.
While acute open and endoscopic repairs show positive outcomes, optimal postoperative management remains debated.
Further research is needed to resolve controversies regarding specific repair techniques and rehabilitation protocols.
