Conceptos Biomecánicos de las Suturas Tendinosas

Abstract: ResumenEl objetivo de una sutura tendinosa es que sea lo suficientemente resistente para permitir una movilidad activa precoz. Para ello, los cirujanos deben comprender las características biomecánicas de las suturas tendinosas. El objetivo de este artículo es recoger los aspectos fundamentales de los estudios biomecánicos, así como los principales factores que influyen en la resistencia de una sutura, tanto en tenorrafias primarias como en el caso de injertos y transferencias. Estudios in vitro o in vivo, con… Show more

“…Knowledge of the maximum load mechanical property is fundamental in assessing the strength of a given tendon suture, and is one of the most used parameters in biomechanical studies. 2 8 12 On the other hand, the clinical importance of the energy property at full load is not fully understood. 2 The energy at maximum load represents the impact absorption capacity of a given material; a larger value of this property could, in theory, mitigate the impact of the suture on the pulley system of the osteofibrous canal in the anterior region of the fingers during articular movement, facilitating tendon slippage and hindering the formation of scar adhesions.…”

“…The need for active postoperative movement of the flexor tendon repairs of the fingers in zones II, III, IV and V, to prevent adhesions and obtain proper range of motion, requires suture stitches with high mechanical resistance. 1 2 Among the various qualifications for optimal repair, such as number of passages, thread qualities, suture volume, among others, ease of performance with minimal surgical trauma is fundamental. 2 The six-passage “figure-of-eight” suture is easy to perform, it can be made with various types of surgical threads, has great mechanical resistance for active postoperative movement, and its efficiency has been proven in clinical and biomechanical studies.…”
