Biomechanical Comparison Between Bashti Bone Plug Technique and Biodegradable Screw for Fixation of Grafts in Ligament surgery
Background: Ligament reconstruction is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. Although several popular techniques are currently in use, new methods are proposed for secure fixation of the tendon graft into the bone tunnel. Purposes: We sought to introduce our new technique of Bashti bone plug for fixation of soft tissue graft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to compar...
متن کاملEffect of hyaluronic acid on the excursion resistance of tendon grafts. A biomechanical study in a canine model in vitro.
The excursion resistance between the tendon and pulley is an important factor contributing to the limitation of function after surgery to the hand. The administration of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the early rehabilitation after tendon grafting may help to prevent adhesions. We evaluated changes in the excursion resistance between potential sources of flexor tendon grafts and the annular pulley in ...
متن کاملA Biomechanical Analysis of the Interlock Suture and a Modified Kessler-Loop Lock Flexor Tendon Suture
OBJECTIVE In this work, we attempted to develop a modified single-knot Kessler-loop lock suture technique and compare the biomechanical properties associated with this single-knot suture technique with those associated with the conventional modified Kessler and interlock suture techniques. METHODS In this experiment, a total of 18 porcine flexor digitorum profundus tendons were harvested and ...
متن کاملComparison of two different suture-passing techniques with different suture materials and thicknesses: Biomechanical study of flexor tendons for yield points, gap formation and early post-operative status
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of two different suture-passing techniques with different suture materials and thicknesses and assess whether they could with stand passive and/or active mobilization in the very early post-operative period. Materials and Method: 192 flexor digitorum profundus communis tendons of similar diameters were obtain...
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...
