Intrasynovial flexor tendon repair: A biomechanical study of variations in suture application in human cadavera

Intrasynovial flexor tendon repair: a biomechanical study of variations in suture application in human cadavera.

To improve the functional outcomes of intrasynovial tendon suture, prior experiments evaluated individual technical modifications used in the repair process. Few studies, however, have assessed the combinatorial effects of those suture modifications in an integrated biomechanical manner, including a sample size sufficient to make definitive observations on repair technique. Two hundred fifty-si...

Recent progress in intrasynovial flexor tendon repair and rehabilitation.

a comparative study of two suture configurations in zone ii flexor tendon repair in adults

although the increase in the number of core sutures during flexor tendon repair increases the tensile strength of the repair, both increased handling at the time of repair and increased bulk at the repair site have been hypothesized as affecting clinical outcomes by increasing gliding resistance. the purpose of our study was to assess whether increasing the number of core sutures from two stran...

A biomechanical study of pediatric flexor profundus tendon repair

OBJECTIVES To investigate the tensile strength of repaired flexor profundus tendons in young lambs, which would be equivalent to repairs in children older than 2 years of age. METHODS A comparative in-vitro experimental study conducted at King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from October 2014 to December 2015. We utilized 30 flexor profundus tendons of young lambs with a widt...
