What Is Hamstring Repair Surgery

Treating Severe Hamstring Tendon Tears

Hamstring repair surgery is a procedure to reattach a torn hamstring tendon to the bone. Hamstring injuries are common in athletes who sprint, jump, or make sudden movements. When a tendon tears completely from its attachment, surgical repair is often necessary to restore full function.

Dr. Feghhi uses advanced surgical techniques to reattach the torn tendon to the ischial bone (sit bone). The procedure is typically performed arthroscopically through small incisions, allowing for faster healing and less scarring. Most patients can return to their previous activity level after complete rehabilitation.
