Abstract

Sheep Achilles tendons are used as an effective preclinical model of flexor tendon repair in plastic surgery, due to their biomechanical properties, which are similar to humans. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy and biomechanical outcomes of suture materials and tendon repair techniques in flexor tendon repair.
