## Abstract We investigated the effects of two suture techniques using three suture types in a human model in vitro. We obtained 60 flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendons from cadavers and measured the gliding resistance during 1,000 cycles of simulated flexionβextension motion and load to failur

## 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
## Abstract We measured the gliding resistance of canine and human tendons of intrasynovial origin and tendons of extrasynovial origin with and without paratenon, and investigated the structure of paratenon using scanning electron microscopy. In the canine study, seven intrasynovial flexor digitoru
While attrition from sharp bony surfaces is the most common cause of extensor digiti minimi (EDM) tendon rupture, the etiology of other cases of spontaneous EDM tendon rupture is still unknown. Friction within the compartment may play a role, especially with ulna dislocation. The purpose of this stu
