Newer methods of tendon repair have been developed and
evaluated in a series of studies in our laboratory. Both the static and dynamic
behaviour of a number of these repair techniques have been characterized by
determining those capable of withstanding clinical loading. In addition, the
ability of the repaired tendon to glide and function within its sheath has been
investigated.
Four flexor tendon repairs that have been evaluated
biomechanically in our laboratory. A) Tajima repair, core suture only; B) Tajima
repair, core plus epitendon suture; C) Savage repair, core suture only; D)
Savage repair, core plus epitendon suture.
