dc.description.abstracteng | Abstract
Purpose: This laboratory study aimed to evaluate the loop
security, knot security, cyclic loading resistance and loadto-
failure rate of three different knot types with establishing
a new experimental set-up. Additionally, the mode of
failure of each knot was evaluated.
Methods: With the use of nonabsorbable, braided polyethylene
sutures, USP size No. 2 [Hi-Fi ; ConMed Linvatec],
the arthroscopic knot types Dines, SMC as well as
the surgeon’s knot were tested using a material testing
machine. The knots were tied openly as well as arthroscopically.
The set-up enables testing of knot configurations
while eliminating friction between knot loop and its
suspension points. Including all test procedures, a total of
216 knots were tested.
Results: All openly tied knot types and ten of each type of
arthroscopically tied knots resisted against cyclic loading
of 1,000 cycles. With subsequent load-to-failure testing,
openly tied knot types achieved significantly higher values
of tensile strength than arthroscopically tied knots.
Regarding clinical failure, defined as an elongation of
3 mm, Dines knot reached highest loop as well as knot
security. Knot slippage was the most common failure
mechanism at an elongation of 3 mm, whereas suture
breakage was evaluated most at an elongation of 6 mm.
Conclusions: The new experimental set-up confirms the
loop security of arthroscopic knot types. Using a knot
pusher clinically is a key factor to attain this as compared
to openly hand-tied techniques. The Dines knot presented
the highest reliability. It may provide a secure tissue
healing during rehabilitation and consequently can be
recommended for clinical application. | de |
