This study investigates gap formation in tendon repair using a novel tensioning method.
The novel stitch will demonstrate less gap formation than the other suture configurations tested.
Porcine tendons stitched with classic Krackow stitch configurations were compared to a Krackow stitch modified with a proximal Tension-Assist Loop. Each group was cyclically loaded followed by analysis of the tendon-suture construct for gap formation.
The Tension-Assist Loop group produced significantly less gap formation than each of the other stitch groups.
Decreasing early gap formation may be beneficial in allowing early rehabilitation and range of motion.
本研究使用一种新型张紧方法来研究肌腱修复中的间隙形成情况。
与所测试的其他缝合配置相比,新型缝线将显示出更少的间隙形成。
将用经典Krackow缝合配置缝合的猪肌腱与用近端张力辅助环改良的Krackow缝合进行比较。每组进行循环加载,随后分析肌腱-缝线结构的间隙形成情况。
张力辅助环组产生的间隙形成明显少于其他各缝合组。
减少早期间隙形成可能有利于早期康复和活动范围。
