Systematic Review of Complications Associated With Proximal Hamstring Tendon Repair

Background: Although several complications of proximal hamstring tendon ruptures have been reported in the literature, few studies comprehensively analyzed complication profile repair. Purpose: To identify overall rate following repair and to differentiate these into categories. Study Design: Systematic review; Level evidence, 4. Methods: Included this review were that examined surgical ruptures; all English had an evidence level 4 or higher. No restrictions made regarding publication date methodological quality. Data extracted calculate as well major minor complications. A quantitative data synthesis was conducted using chi-square test compare proportion patients who experienced with endoscopic versus open approach. Results: total 43 articles including 2833 repairs identified. The postoperative 15.3% (n = 433). 4.6%, a 1.7% sciatic nerve injury, 0.8% venous thromboembolism, reoperation rate, rerupture 0.4% deep infection. Minor included 2.4% posterior femoral cutaneous 2.3% persistent myopathy, 2.2% sitting pain, 1.8% peri-incisional numbness, 1.1% superficial infection, hematoma/seroma. Conclusion: Proximal is associated 15.3%, 4.6%
