## TL;DR

This paper introduces a revised endoscopic technique using suture staples to repair proximal hamstring tears when initial treatments fail.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is a specific suture staple-based endoscopic technique for revision repair of proximal hamstring tears.

## Key findings

- Endoscopic repair with suture staples is a viable option for partial or undersurface proximal hamstring tears.
- The technique addresses retears that occur after initial endoscopic repair attempts.

## Abstract

Proximal hamstring tears can significantly affect patient quality of life. Recently, endoscopy has been used to address these tears when conservative management fails. The results of endoscopic proximal hamstring repair are promising, but retears do occur. Revision endoscopic repair is an option. We present a technique, using suture staples, which can be used in partial or undersurface proximal hamstring tears.
