flexor tendon repair in zone ii with a new Suture Technique and an early mobilization program combining passive and active flexion
Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 1994Co-Authors: K L Silfverskiold, Esther MayAbstract:Abstract A new epitendinal suuture Technique (cross-stitch) was used for flexor tendon repair in zone II in 46 consecutive patients with 55 injured digits. For the first 4 weeks after the operation, the digits were mobilized with a combination of active extension and passive and active flexion. Postoperative tendon excursions and gap formation were measured with intraoperatively placed metal markers. There were two ruptures. In the remaining digits, the mean active distal interphalangeal and proximal interphalangeal range of motion 6 weeks postoperatively was 50° and 83°, respectively. Six months postoperatively the corresponding figures were 63° and 94°. Three weeks postoperatively the mean tendon excursions per 10° of joint motion varied from 82% (distal interphalangeal joint motion) to 88% (proximal interphalangeal joint motion) of the maximum possible. The results indicate that the cross-stitch is a reliable Suture Technique that, when used in combination with a program incorporating early active and passive flexion, can produce very good results after flexor tendon repair in zone II.

a novel Suture Technique using the fast fix combined with ultrabraid for pullout repair of the medial meniscus posterior root tear
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology, 2017Co-Authors: Masataka Fujii, Takayuki Furumatsu, Yuya Kodama, Shinichi Miyazawa, Tomohito Hino, Yusuke Kamatsuki, Kazuki Yamada, Toshifumi OzakiAbstract:Medial meniscus posterior root has an important role in the maintenance of knee articular cartilage. Although pullout repair of the medial meniscus posterior root tear has become a gold standard, it has several difficulties for suturing. We have developed a modified Mason–Allen Suture Technique using the FasT-Fix all-inside Suture device combined with Ultrabraid. The present Suture Technique allows a strong grasping of the medial meniscus posterior horn for arthroscopic pullout repair.
