This paper describes a new technique to suture the radioactive plaque to sclera. The radioactive plaque is conventionally sutured to the sclera using 5/0 nylon sutures. The imbricated suture technique involves using a 1/0 silk or 2/0 mersilene suture imbricated with the 5/0 nylon suture when the nylon suture is tied and cut. The imbricated suture technique allows easy identification of the plaq...

BACKGROUND All of previous biomechanical studies on meniscal repair have examined the meniscus itself without synovial membrane and capsule, although in the clinical setting, the meniscal repair is generally performed including capsule. Therefore, biomechanical properties of transcapsular meniscal repair are unclear. Thus, this study aimed to clarify the biomechanical properties of transcapsula...

An adequate restoration of the muscle-tendon-bone unit is essential for a successful outcome after rotator cuff reconstruction. We describe a suture grasping technique for rotator cuff repair using suture anchors that can be performed either arthroscopically or during open rotator cuff refixation. The technique we use is a combination of a mattress and a single suture, thus representing the pri...

Surgical reattachment of medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) with transtibial sutures can delay the presenceof medial knee joint compartment osteoarthritis. Most suture configurations are placed five mm away from the tornmargin in the meniscal substance which is already degenerated and may decrease the pull out strengths of repairconstruct. The number of meniscus penet...

Objective:In this study, we assess long-term effects of vertical dome division (V.D.D) and Suture techniques in patients with bulbous nose deformity and then compare the efficiency of these methods. Material and Methods: In this study 70 patients with bulbous nose deformity were divided into two equal groups of A and B in which group A with suture (transdomal and interdomal) technique and grou...

Objective: To conduct a descriptive study on Hayman suture technique to control postpartum hemorrhage Method: Hayman suture was applied in 43 cases. A No-1 Vicryl suture was used on a round body or a straight needle. In 36 cases (83.72%) Hayman suture was the only intervention. In 4 cases (9.30%) uterine vessels and ovarian vessels were also ligated along with Hayman suture. In 3 cases (7%), al...

PURPOSE Little data exist comparing the strength of traditional methods of fixation in a flexor digitorum profundus tendon with the use of a suture anchor. In vitro cyclic testing simulating a passive mobilization protocol was used to compare the repair of a flexor digitorum profundus tendon using a single micro-Mitek anchor (Mitek, Westwood, MA) or a modified Bunnell 2-strand pullout technique...
