Bunnell or cross-lock Bunnell suture for tendon repair? Defining the biomechanical role of suture pretension

BACKGROUND: Suture pretension during tendon repair is supposed to increase the resistance to gap formation. However, its effects on the Bunnell suture technique are unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the biomechanical effects of suture pretension on the Bunnell and cross-lock Bunnel...
