Loop and knot security of a novel arthroscopic sliding-locking knot using high-strength sutures.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Objective
We evaluated the loop and knot security of a novel arthroscopic knot, the Wiese knot, using different types of sutures.Methods
The Wiese knot was tied using four different brands of braided sutures (Ethibond, Orthocord, FiberWire, and UltraBraid) with and without a series of three reversing half-hitches (RHAPs) and tested for loop and knot security.Results
Orthocord provided the greatest amount of loop security. FiberWire delivered the highest knot security. UltraBraid had the greatest ultimate force. Three half-hitches increased the maximal load to clinical failure.Conclusion
The biomechanical characteristics of the Wiese knot are affected by suture material qualities.
