ABSTRACT
Harvesting the hamstring tendons for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is not straightforward to perform or to teach: the incision is small, the work-space is narrow and the surgeon's tactile feedback using the stripper is difficult to explain to juniors. The purpose of this short note is to describe a reliable means of harvesting the semitendinosus, gracilis or both. Patient and tourniquet positioning, instrumentation and landmarks are detailed; then the 6 steps (speed-bump 1, speed-bump 2, bubble, hook, expansions, stripper) are explained.
