Comparison of the double loop knot stitch and Kessler stitch for Achilles tendon repair: A biomechanical cadaver study.

Comparison of the double loop knot stitch and Kessler stitch for Achilles tendon repair: A biomechanical cadaver study.

Tendon elongation after Achilles tendon (AT) repair is associated with the clinical outcome. Reliable suture techniques are essential to reduce gap formations and to allow early mobilization. Cyclic loading conditions represent the repetitive loading in rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to c...
