    Abstract

    We present the technique of minimally invasive harvesting of bone patella tendon bone autografts for ligament reconstructions with 2 horizontal incisions. Technical guidelines as well as hints are described. The advantages and disadvantages of the technique are discussed with respect to current literature findings and the authors' experience with several hundreds of those interventions is reflected.
