Localization of the semitendinosus-gracilis tendon bifurcation point relative to the tibial tuberosity: an aid to hamstring tendon harvest

Graft Harvest and Preparation

“…However, in many cases, this is hardly possible due to either a thick subcutaneous tissue or a thin diameter of the tendons. Thus, three different landmarks can be used ( Regarding the medial-lateral location, controversy exists in the literature as the best way to perform the skin incision [ 35 ]. Most of the studies have recommended performing oblique incisions to minimize the risk of nerve injury.…”

Figure-of-Eight Tendon Graft Reconstruction for Sternoclavicular Joint Instability: Biomechanical Rationale, Surgical Technique, and a Review of Clinical Outcomes

“…3A). 20,21 Because the specific techniques for tendon harvest are beyond the scope of this article, we refer the reader to Pagnani et al, 20 and then to Tillett et al, 21 for a complete anatomical description and detailed surgical technique for gracilis tendon harvest. The gracilis tendon graft is (B) the planned incision site is marked (approximately 10 cm in length); (C) the incision is made following the predetermined incision site; (D) superficial dissection exposes the SC joint capsule; (E) a longitudinal capsulotomy is performed in a medial-to-lateral direction (dashed arrow); and (F) the medial clavicle (asterisk) and manubrial articular facet (arrow) are now exposed.…”

The use of hamstring tendon graft for the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (benefi ts, problems and their solutions)

“…Такие перемычки распола-гаются приблизительно на 7 см проксимальнее прикрепления сухожилий полусухожильной и нежной мышц [30]. Выполнение разреза для забора сухожилий подколенных мышц на 2,2 см дистальнее и на 4,5 см медиальнее бугристости большеберцовой кости позволяет облегчить иден-тификацию и рассечение сухожильных перемы-чек для выделения сухожилия полусухожильной мышцы [31].…”
