In vitro biomechanical study to compare the double-loop technique with the Pulvertaft weave for tendon anastomosis

Luc De Smet et al. Scand J Plast Reconstr Surg Hand Surg. 2008.

Abstract

The tensile strength of a double-loop technique for tendon anastomosis was compared with those of two modified Kessler techniques and the traditional Pulvertaft weave technique. The experiments were made on specimens of fresh human extensor tendon. The double-loop technique was significantly stronger than the other suture techniques.
