Hamstring pain and muscle strains following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a prospective, randomized trial comparing hamstring graft harvest techniques
J Knee Surg. 2013 Apr;26(2):139-44. doi: 10.1055/s-0032-1324811. Epub 2012 Sep 1034 patients were randomized to undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using either the "Cut" or "Push" hamstring graft harvest technique to compare which method was more effective in lowering pain and the occurrence of hamstring muscle strain post-operatively. Following evaluations over a minimum of 24 months, it was observed that postoperative hamstring pain and the occurrence of hamstring strain were significantly lower in those patients who underwent ACL reconstruction using the "Cut" graft harvest technique versus the "Push" method.
