Sharaby MMF, et al. - Experts compared the incidence, extent of sensory loss, its clinical effect and natural course caused by sensory nerve injury, during two different skin incisions used for autogenous hamstring graft harvest during ACL reconstruction.

Clearly, nerve injury could not be diminished by harvesting the semitendinosus alone.
