Descripción
Sumario:The hamstring autograft is one of the most popular grafts for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Although many techniques for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring autografts have been invented, hamstring harvest techniques have not been focused. Hamstrings are harvested using an open technique that requires a 2- to 5-cm skin incision. In this Technical Note, we describe an endoscopic harvest technique of autogenous gracilis and semitendinosus tendon. This technique needs only a 1- to 1.5-cm skin incision and provides surgeons a sufficient view to safely harvest the hamstrings.
