Whip-Lock Stitch Is Biomechanically Superior to Whipstitch for Semitendinosus Tendons
Purpose: To assess the biomechanical performance of different stitching methods using a suturing device by comparing the elongation, stiffness, failure load, and time to stitch completion in cadaveric semitendinosus tendons (STs) and quadriceps tendons (QTs). Methods: A total of 24 STs and 16 QTs we...
