INTRODUCTION: Acromioclavicular dislocation is a traumatic injury of the shoulder. The surgical options include the use of screws, sutures or anchors. The use of sutures type FiberTape™ is a frequently used alternative, having no current consensus on the variables that influence the strength of the repair. OBJETIVE: Evaluate ultimate failure point (UFP) of differents distances between the knots of Fibertape™ suture. HYPOTHESIS: A greater distance between sutures improves resistance. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Porcine metatarsal samples- Three groups of 12 samples (N=36). Group 1: 5 mm of distance, Group 2: 10 mm of distance, Group 3: 15 mm of distance. A continuous axial traction until failure was applied. RESULTS: Group 1: 312N (182-442N), Group 2: 430N (368-595N), Group 3: 595,5N (441- 978N) (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: The distance of 15 mm between the nodes has a higher resistence, statistically significant compared to the rest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
