To compare H-Hayman, a modified uterine compression suturing technique (UCS) that we describe for the first time in the literature, with conventional vertical UCS techniques....
The H-Hayman technique was used in 14 women and the conventional UCS technique in 21 women. In order to provide standardization in the study, only patients who had developed upper-segment atony during...
Bleeding control was achieved in 85.7% (12/14) of the cases using the H-Hayman technique. In the remaining two patients with persistent hemorrhage in this group, bleeding control was provided with bil...
We found the H-Hayman technique to be at least as successful as conventional UCS. In addition, patients who underwent suturing with the H-Hayman technique had less blood loss and a lower requirement f...
A 17-year-old male patient suffered a radial lateral meniscus tear and underwent an arthroscopic all-inside suture repair. After 7 months, the patient experienced catching. Magnetic resonance imaging ...
Suture knot-related complications should be considered while performing meniscal repairs....
The suture material and pattern utilized to maintain the skin edges in proximity allows for successful primary wound healing. No prior studies have evaluated the tensile strength of different suture p...
Four skin closure patterns were tested on human cadaveric skin using 3-0 nylon - S, HM, VM, LL - totaling four groups with twelve samples each. A tensioning device applied 1 N of force/second in a lin...
The LL stitch had the greatest dehiscence force (198.60 N) and ultimate load to failure force (211.13 N) but was only significantly greater on both outcomes versus HM (104.81 N; 95% confidence interva...
The Lindeque Locking stitch demonstrated the greatest dehiscence force and tensile strength. It may decrease the risk of wound dehiscence for high tension wounds....
The suture-tendon interface often constitutes the point of failure in tendon suture repair. In the present study, we investigated the mechanical benefit of coating the suture with a cross-linking agen...
Freshly harvested human biceps long head tendons were randomly allocated to control (n = 17) or intervention (n = 19) group. According to the assigned group, either an untreated or a genipin-coated su...
Tendons stitched with a genipin-coated suture sustained higher forces to failure. Cyclic and ultimate displacement of the tendon-suture construct remained unaltered by the local tissue crosslinking. T...
The repair strength of a tendon-suture construct can be augmented by loading the suture with genipin. At this mechanically relevant dosage, crosslinking-induced cell death is confined to a radius of <...
Compare all-suture anchors to traditional anchors through clinical and radiological evaluation at pre-established end-points....
We performed a two-arms non-inferiority study on all-suture anchor (2.3 iconix™, Stryker) device with respect to traditional anchor (5.5 healix Advance™ BR, Depuy/Mitek) device under unpaired samples ...
All-suture anchor approach has been proven to have non-inferior performances with respect to traditional anchor approach, according to questionnaires scores at the 3-month endpoint. We observed 26 pat...
All suture devices have clinical and functional results comparable to traditional devices, while they tend to give fewer complications in terms of bone edema, loosening and retear rate. The effectiven...
Anatomic repair of anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) is used to manage chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). However, the optimal suture configuration used to repair the ATFL is not yet determi...
To compare the functional outcomes of all-inside arthroscopic ATFL repair using either a loop suture and or a free-edge suture configuration in CLAI patients....
Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3....
This retrospective cohort study included 71 patients with CLAI who had undergone an all-inside arthroscopic ATFL repair procedure with either loop suture (n = 36) or free-edge suture (n = 35) from Feb...
There were no postoperative wound complications, implant reactions, or neurological or vascular injuries. Postoperative hospitalization, VAS, AOFAS, KAFS, AJPS and the time of return to sport were sim...
All-inside arthroscopic ATFL repair procedure for CLAI treatment provides better ATT and comparable functional outcomes when a loop suture configuration is used instead of a free-edge suture configura...
Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL-R) with nonresorbable suture tape (FiberTape...
In ten human, fresh-frozen knee joint specimens (m/f 6/4; age 74 ± 9 a), the MPFL was identified and dissected near the femoral insertion site. In five knee joints, the MPFL-R using FT was performed w...
The mean maximum load to failure in the SG was 395.3 ± 57.9 N. All reconstructions failed by complete tearing off the medial patellar retinaculum from its medial patellar margin, but fixation of the F...
Primary stability of soft-tissue MPFL-R using FT was superior to suture-anchor fixation. Both fixation techniques provided sufficient primary stability, superior to previously reported native MPFL ten...
This study aimed at comparing the outcomes of medium- to large-sized rotator cuff repairs performed using the suture bridge technique either with or without tape-like sutures, and single row technique...
A total of 135 eligible patients with medium to large rotator cuff tears were identified and analyzed retrospectively, from 2017 to 2019. Only repairs using all-suture anchors were included in the stu...
DRSB with tapes had the highest re-tear rate of 16% (8/50), but there was no significant difference with the re-tear rates observed in SR (8%, 4/50) and DRSB with conventional sutures (11.4%, 4/35) (n...
No clinical difference in functional outcomes and re-tear rates were observed in DRSB with tapes when compared with SR and DRSB using the conventional sutures. Tape-like DRSB suture which was expected...
Level III....
Bioabsorbable sutures can improve the medical functions of existing non-absorbable sutures, and may produce new medical effects, and are expected to become a new generation of medical degradable mater...
As one of the long-established and necessary medical devices, surgical sutures play an essentially important role in the closing and healing of damaged tissues and organs postoperatively. The recent a...
