Figure 4From: A new modified Tsuge suture for flexor tendon repairs: the biomechanical analysis and clinical applicationTensile force for 2-mm gap formation. While it was comparable to tensile force from six-strand modified Savage repair, tensile force to generate a 2-mm gap was significantly higher in the new modified Tsuge suture when compared to other four-strand sutures (p < 0.05).Back to article page
