Fine tuning of the side-to-side tenorrhaphy: A biomechanical study assessing different side-to-side suture techniques in a porcine tendon model
Fig 1
Overview of suture techniques used.
The different techniques Pulvertaft (PT), Fridén (FR) and Woven-Fridén (WF) are illustrated: The donor tendon (above) was woven through incisions in the recipient tendon (below). For each suture technique the same amount of connection points between the tendons was used. The threads were cut in standardized fashion at 10 mm length.
