Hamstring tendon autograft remains a popular graft choice for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Although the technique of hamstring autograft harvest is relatively straightforward, it is critical to pay attention to several technical steps to avoid iatrogenic anatomic or neurovascular damage as well as to reduce the risk of premature amputation of the graft when using a tendon stripper. We describe a technique of hamstring autograft harvesting using only 2 anatomic references that makes it a simple and reproducible technique for surgeons, especially those in training.
