Endoscopic Debridement and Repair of Proximal Hamstring Calcific Tendinopathy

Calcific tendinopathy of the proximal hamstring has few descriptions in the literature. Although very similar to the same pathology in other anatomic locations, diagnosis can be difficult, because many physicians aren't familiar with its occurrence in this location. This pathology can cause significant pain and debility for affected patients; therefore, accurate diagnosis and treatment is essential. This Technical Note discusses the diagnosis and management, specifically endoscopic debridement and repair, of proximal hamstring tendinopathy.
