Biomechanical evaluation of the ST-knot: a new suture for flexor tendon repair
Résumé
Purpose Although tendon lacerations are common injuries for the hand surgeon, there is currently no consensus regarding the choice of one suture over another. Easy and fast sutures that impart enough strength to allow mobilization are needed. This study compares the ex vivo biomechanical strength (force required to create a 2 mm tendon gap) of a new suture (ST-knot) with that of a conventional suture (double Kessler).
