Suture materials in orthopaedic surgery are used for closure of wounds, repair of fascia,
muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, and cerclage or tension band of certain …

PURPOSE: To compare the biomechanical performance of several different sutures by
evaluating knot security and load to failure strength using different arthroscopic knots …

Most arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction techniques require a method of securing the
tendon to the bone to obtain a stable construct. The available options include knotless …

Background: This review aims to identify publications on quantitative biomechanical testing
of surgical knot security and the physical factors that determine knot security and failure …

Abstract Background Context Defects in the annulus fibrosus (AF) remain a challenge in the
surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniations with persistent defects, allowing potential re …

We report a novel monofilament slip knot technique for bronchial ligation and for
visualization of the anatomic plane during lung segmentectomy. After threading the …

PURPOSE: To determine the biomechanical strength properties of suture capsulolabral
plication to an intact labrum versus glenoid bone anchor fixation. METHODS: Fourteen …

Background: The Nice knot is a bulky double-stranded knot. Biomechanical data supporting
its use as well as the number of half hitches required to ensure knot security is lacking …

The success of a suture is generally linked to its mechanical performance such as tensile
strength and knot slippage. The measurement of the tensile properties of sutures suffers …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the knot security and loop security of 2
sliding and 1 static arthroscopic knot tied with different types of suture material. METHODS …
