A technique for introducing looped sutures in flexor tendon repair
Stronger flexor tendon repairs facilitate early active motion therapy protocols. Core sutures using looped suture material provide 1 ½ to twice the strength of Kessler′s technique (with four strand and six strand Tsuge technique respectively). The technique is well-described and uses preformed loope...
