Abstract
A harvested hamstring autograft that is too small is a technical challenge for an effective anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. One potential solution is to assemble the graft differently to maximize the diameter and length of the graft. Compared with the traditional, all-inside, 4-strand graft preparation, alternative graft constructs could be further explored and evaluated.
