Flexor tendon repair with a knotless barbed suture: a comparative biomechanical study.
To test the hypothesis that a flexor tendon repair with only a knotless barbed suture technique provides a repair with a greater maximal load to failure and 2-mm gapping resistance than a traditional technique using a 4-strand core plus a running-locking epitendinous suture. ⋯ This study examines the biomechanical differences between 2 types of flexor-tendon repair, which can help guide the surgical management for these injuries.
