Eight-strand Cross-locked Cruciate Flexor Tendon Repair Using Double-stranded Suture: A Description of the Surgical Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes a technique for improved repair of digital flexor tendon laceration. Eight-strand cross-locked cruciate repair using 4-0 caliber double-stranded suture is not bulky and has a smooth configuration for tendon gliding. Additionally, it has sufficient strength for early postoperative active motion exercise.

Abstract: Ex-Vivo Biomechanical Study Comparing the Cross-Locked Cruciate Repair with a Continuous Suture Repair for Oblique Flexor Tendon Lacerations
INTRODUCTION: Flexor tendon injuries remain a contentious issue in hand surgery as reflected in the multitude of differing techniques. A significant proportion of tendon transections are oblique and they are typically managed in a similar fashion to straight transections, using a multi-strand technique. In our practice, we have observed that there is significant bunching at the repair sites whe...
متن کاملBiomechanical comparison of the four-strand cruciate and Strickland techniques in animal tendons
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare two four-strand techniques: the traditional Strickland and cruciate techniques. METHODS Thirty-eight Achilles tendons were removed from 19 rabbits and were assigned to two groups based on suture technique (Group 1, Strickland suture; Group 2, cruciate repair). The sutured tendons were subjected to constant progressive distraction using a un...
متن کاملLooped versus single-stranded flexor tendon repairs: a cadaveric mechanical study.
PURPOSE To compare the tensile properties of 4-strand modified Kessler flexor tendon repairs using a looped or single-stranded suture. METHODS We evaluated the mechanical properties of 4-strand Kessler zone II core suture repairs using either looped or single-stranded suture in human flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus tendons. Forty repairs were performed on tendons from bi...
متن کاملA new barbed device for repair of flexor tendons.
We split 100 porcine flexor tendons into five groups of 20 tendons for repair. Three groups were repaired using the Pennington modified Kessler technique, the cruciate or the Savage technique, one using one new device per tendon and the other with two new devices per tendon. Half of the tendons received supplemental circumferential Silfverskiöld type B cross-stitch. The repairs were loaded to f...
متن کاملIntrasynovial 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...
