Tendon graft anatomy and harvesting.
Tendon grafts are often needed in reconstructive surgery. The choice of a tendon graft donor site should be based on the type of graft needed and knowledge of donor-site anatomy, whether normal or aberrant. This study, based on the dissection of 120 cadavers, describes anatomic variations and tendon harvesting techniques.
