COMPARISON OF THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYGLYCOLIDE-TRIMETHYLENE CARBONATE (MAXON) AND POLYDIOXANONE SUTURES (PDS2) USED FOR FLEXOR TENDON REPAIR AND ACTIVE MOBILIZATION

Thirty-six canine flexor digitorum profundus tendons were repaired using 5-0 polyglycolide-trimethylene carbonate monofilament (Maxon) or polydioxanone monofilament (PDS2). All the tendons healed without rupture or formation of gaps of more than 2 mm. Mechanically, all tendon repairs had sufficient...
