Abstract

Purpose

Barbed suture material for tendon repair opens up the possibility of a knotless reconstruction due to an increased suture–tendon interaction. The aim of this study was to compare the tensile strength of a knotted technique with a monofilament polydioxane suture to that of a knotless technique with a barbed suture material, by using a multistrand, modified Kirchmayr-Kessler tenorrhaphy.
