Heat treatment of the ears of knotted sutures markedly enhances knot security. Using coated polyester sutures commonly used in arthroscopic surgery, heat treatment of the knot ears allows secure knot construction to be achieved with a two throw granny (1 ؋ 1) or square (1 ‫؍‬ 1) knot.

## Abstract Although the knot security of suture materials has been widely investigated, there are few reports on the effects of knot tying conditions. With respect to foreign body reaction, it is preferable to use the minimum possible amount of suture materials and to use an appropriate material t
