Open Proximal Hamstring Repair Using All-Suture Anchors and Tension-Slide Fixation

科学分野:

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Sports Medicine
• Biomaterials

背景:

• Proximal hamstring avulsions are common injuries in active adults.
• Open surgical repair is the current gold standard for these injuries.
• All-suture anchors offer a low-profile alternative to traditional fixation devices.

研究 の 目的:

• To describe a reproducible surgical technique for proximal hamstring avulsions.
• To evaluate the use of all-suture anchors in a triangular tension-slide configuration.
• To highlight the advantages of this technique for specific patient populations.

主な方法:

• A technical note detailing a surgical technique using three Q-Fix all-suture anchors.
• Anchors are placed in a triangular tension-slide configuration for fixation.
• The technique emphasizes direct visualization and sciatic nerve protection.

主要な成果:

• The described technique provides strong anatomic fixation.
• It results in minimal implant burden and reduced bone loss.
• The method is adaptable for cases with tendon retraction or poor tissue quality.

結論:

• All-suture anchors in a triangular tension-slide configuration offer an effective method for proximal hamstring avulsion repair.
• This technique is suitable for high-demand populations and challenging cases.
• It presents a viable alternative to traditional fixation methods.
