2021 Annual Meeting Knee Access Pass-My Hamstring Graft Too Small

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the presenter discusses the importance of graft size in hamstring autograft procedures. They explain that a graft diameter of less than eight millimeters is associated with a higher failure rate. The presenter introduces a technique using an Arthrex device that involves folding over and whip-stitching the hamstring tendon to create a larger graft diameter, ranging from 8.5 to 11 millimeters. They also emphasize the use of a closed-tendon stripper to prevent laceration of the graft during harvesting. The video concludes by stating that the described technique ensures a successful outcome. No credits were mentioned in the video.
