Excerpt
Current literature suggests that the cross locked cruciate repair not only provides a good compromise between complexity and final failure force, but also is a favorable repair in terms of gap formation. In this study we modified this repair configuration by interlocking its distal components to further improve gapping propensities. Additionally we introduce a new tendon repair technique: The three-dimensional knotless barbed suture tenorrhaphy. Aim of this study was to compare these two new tendon repair methods with the conventional cross locked cruciate repair in a dynamic testing scenario, focusing on maximum load capacity and gap formation.
