Abstract
A new technique for harvesting the patella tendon for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is described. A circular oscillating saw is used to harvest the bone plugs. We feel that this technique offers reproducibility that is difficult to obtain with more conventional methods of graft harvesting.
