This article introduces a technique of tendon repair using large-gauge dacron core sutures placed by a suture-assist device. Tensile strengths of the repair on preserved human tendons averaged 44.1 Newtons, compared with 29.8 Newtons for repairs with a modified Kessler technique. The technique shows promise as an alternative method for flexor tendon repair.
