2. Fig 1
On viewing of a left hip, the viewing portal for the 30° arthroscope is posterior to the vastus lateralis ridge (VLR). Distally is a Clear-Trac working cannula (Smith & Nephew). A Healicoil anchor is being inserted from a proximal portal. A probe has been introduced anteriorly to retract the tendon while seating the anchor.

5. Fig 4
The more posterior of the 2 Healicoil anchors is being inserted. The colored sutures of the anterior anchor are seen emerging from the anchor hole (arrow); these have already been passed in a mattress fashion through the proximal tendon.
