Abstract

The mechanical strengths of five techniques of tendon repair have been evaluated using human cadaver tendons. A modified Kessler repair with a peripheral circumferential suture and the method of Becker were found to require the greatest load to produce gapping, but the Becker and Savage repairs withstood the highest load before failure.
