Video Summary

In this video transcript, the speaker discusses his experience and the current evidence for the treatment of proximal hamstring tears. He explains that there is a spectrum of pathology for these tears, starting with tendinopathies and progressing to chronic partial thickness tears and full thickness tears. Different treatments are recommended based on the severity of the tear. Non-operative treatments focus on neuromuscular training, strengthening, and activity modification. Surgical treatments can be endoscopic or open, depending on the location and retraction of the tear. Grafts may be used for chronic tears. The speaker also discusses the outcomes of these treatments, including safety, function, pain, and re-rupture rates. He concludes by mentioning resources for more information on the topic.<br /><br />No credits are granted.
