Two-, four-, and six-strand zone II flexor tendon repairs: An in situ biomechanical comparison using a cadaver model

A dynamic in vitro model of zone II flexor tendon repair was used to compare gliding resistance, gap formation, and ultimate strength of the 2-, 4-, and 6-strand repair techniques. Each of 12 hands was mounted to a loading frame with 3 flexor tendons attached to individual pneumatic cylinders. A spr...
