Ateschrang A, et al. - Experts presumed that the elastic capacity of a tendon-repair construct influences the force necessary to induce gapping. They created a tendon-repair model in porcine lower hind limbs, which were allocated to 3 fixation techniques: (1) Krackow, (2) transosseous and (3) anchor fixation. Results suggested that the elastic capacity of a tendon-repair construct and the force necessary to induce clinically relevant gapping were directly proportional. Moreover, there was no significant difference between the 3 methods of fixation in terms of maximum force to failure.
