چکیده انگلیسی


• Suture anchors versus transosseous absorbable sutures in quadriceps tendon rupture repair were tested.
• The suture anchor system showed comparable results to transosseous fixation.
• Stiffness of the new reconstruction was even greater than in the established method.
• Results suggest that both techniques may allow early partial weight-bearing after surgery.

BackgroundAcute quadriceps tendon tears are infrequent injuries requiring surgical treatment. Improved stability after surgical repair may allow for earlier weight-bearing and range of motion. Therefore, a new implant was tested and compared with the “gold standard”, using transosseous sutures.MethodsQuadriceps tendon tears were constructed using a cadaveric model of 12 fresh matched-pair specimens (aged 61–97; mean age: 82 years). The biomechanical testing compared non-absorbable suture anchors (Polyvinylidene fluoride) versus transosseous absorbable sutures (Polydioxanon). Following anatomic reconstruction, the repaired specimens were loaded until they failed (testing machine: Hounsfield H10KM, Redhill, United Kingdom; maximum force: 1000 N; load speed: 25 mm/min; maximum test length: 150 mm; pre-load: 5 N). Values for load until tear displacement, maximum load until complete failure of the construct (pullout or breakage of the sutures or anchors) and stiffness of the reconstruction were recorded.ResultsThe stiffness found in the Polyvinylidene fluoride reconstruction (mean 9.83 N/mm) (standard deviation (SD) 7.75) showed a significant increase compared to the Polydioxanon reconstruction (mean 6.66 N/mm (SD 3.32); P = 0.045). Transosseous fixation showed comparable results to the suture anchor system. There was no significant difference found in the maximum load to tear displacement (PVDF: 290.88 N (SD 106.01) vs. PDS: 266.75 N (SD 82.61); P = 0.358).ConclusionsUsing the Polyvinylidene fluoride thread showed comparable results to the established method in reconstruction of ruptured quadriceps tendon. Stiffness of the Polyvinylidene fluoride thread reconstruction was even greater than Polydioxanon thread.Clinical relevanceImproved stiffness may facilitate healing and is suggested as clinical relevance in reconstruction.
