摘要：

Achieving satisfactory digital motion after suturing severed flexor tendons remains a challenge. Although a suture technique proposed by Savage is stronger in vitro than a true Kessler repair, the Savage technique has not been previously tested in vivo. We repaired 96 severed canine tendons using either of two modifications of the Kessler technique or the Savage technique. The tensile strength of these repairs were compared at 0, 1, 3, and 6 weeks after suturing. The Savage technique provided a significantly stronger repair than the ''suture locking'' method in vitro and at 1 and 3 weeks after repair. We found no significant differences between the tensile strengths of the Kessler-Tajima and suture-locking methods at any lime.
