Abstract
Injury to the sciatic nerve following harvesting of the medial hamstring tendons is a complication that has not been described. I report a unique case of sciatic nerve injury above the level of its bifurcation into its terminal branches following hamstring graft harvest for use in ACL reconstruction. The sciatic nerve anatomy and technique of graft harvest is briefly described.Entities:
