Fixation with strong trans-osseous sutures is stronger than fixation with a cannulated screw and washer on cadaveric knees. It appears that fixation with strong trans-osseous sutures allows immediate mobilisation and weight bearing like fixation with a cannulated screw and washer. Meanwhile, the time for fixation with trans-osseous sutures is significantly longer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
