Özet
Objectives Sheep Achilles tendons are used as an effective preclinical model of flexor tendon repair in plastic surgery, due to their biomechanical properties, which are similar to humans. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy and biomechanical outcomes of suture materials and tendon repair techniques in flexor tendon repair. Material and methods 72 sheep tendons were obtained for a total of 12 different scenarios. Tendons were repaired using 4 different suture types and 3 different suture techniques. After repair, the tendons were fixed at both ends and subjected to biomechanical tests. Ultimate Failure Load (UFL) and 2-mm Gap Load (GL) per scenario were compared statistically within and between groups. Results UFL and GL of all sutures were significantly different between the modified Kessler, Bunnell and Krackow techniques (P?<?0.05), and between Monosorb, Ti-Cron and V-loc sutures (P?<?0.05). UFL and GL according to repair technique were not significantly different for the Propilen suture (P?>?0.05). Conclusion When UFL and GL were considered together, our findings indicate that optimal strength scenarios were for the modified Kessler technique using Monosorb or V-loc sutures.
