In Vitro Biomechanical Study on the “Figure-of-Eight” and Kessler Sutures in Swine Flexor Tendons

Abstract Objective To evaluate the biomechanical properties of the “figure-of-eight” and Kessler suture techniques for tendons. Methods Flexor tendons of porcine fingers were divided into two groups with triple central “figure of eight” sutures (six passages) and Kessler sutures (two passages) ass...
