Comparison of two different suture-passing techniques with different suture materials and thicknesses: Biomechanical study of flexor tendons for yield points, gap formation and early post-operative status

Comparison of two different suture-passing techniques with different suture materials and thicknesses: Biomechanical study of flexor tendons for yield points, gap formation and early post-operative status

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical characteristics of two different suture-passing techniques with different suture materials and thicknesses and assess whether they could with stand passive and/or active mobilization in the very early post-operative period.
