10、ment suture Examples of permanent,braided,polyester,nonabsorbable sutures are Ethibond and Ticron Examples of absorbable,monofilament sutures are PDS II,polydiaxonone and Maxon,polyglyconate 14 Braided polyester has increased pliability,ductility,a higher coefficient of friction and greater strength

11、 than does absorbable monofilament Because the braided suture is more pliable,the volume of the knot is decreased and these knots can be cinched tighter.Knots tied with Ethibond were shown to be stronger when compared to PDS II in several biomechanical studies However,braided polyester may fray with

12、 excessive handling,which may lead to suture rupture15Braided polyester suture may be coated to:improve surgeon handling reduce friction between the suture and surrounding tissue,which can lead the tissue damagedecrease friction between suture limbs,which may lead to frayingHowever,suture coating de

13、creases the coefficient of friction of the knot,which theoretically increases the risk of knot slippage16 Knots tied with absorbable,monofilament sutures are easier to slide down a post and do not fray There is less friction between the suture and surrounding tissue leading to less potential tissue

14、damage when the suture is pulled through the tissue absorbable sutures dissolve and do not leave knots that may cause a persistent inflammatory reaction after tissue healing Absorbable sutures can appose tissue under stress for approximately six weeks with complete absorption occurring in approximat

15、ely six months 17 However,absorbable monofilament sutures are harder to handle than polyester making it more difficult to keep knots tight and secure Also,a absorbable monofilament suture will fail earlier with cyclic loading than polyester suture and may expand by plastic deformation more than 30%o

17、uture most commonly used in arthroscopic surgery is No.1 or No.2.19Knot Types There are a variety of knot include nonsliding knots,sliding knots,and locking knots.Nonsliding knots are knots that do not slide though the tissues being apposed.They include the square knot and knots consisting of a seri

18、es of half hitches like the Revo knot(34)Although the square knot fails at higher loads than do series of half hitches in hand-tied knots(38),the square knot is not commonly used arthroscopically.20 The square knot is a flat knot in which both strands enter and leave the knot parallel to each other(

19、Fig.6).In order to tie a square knot,symmetric tension must be simultaneously applied to each limb,which is difficult to do arthroscopically If asymmetric tension is applied to one of the limbs,the knot converts to two nonidentical half hitches Thus,most arthroscopic surgeons prefer using a series o

20、f half hitches21FIGURE 6.Square knot configuration.22 Sliding knots,like the Duncan loop(27),are useful in opposing tissue under tension.While tying a sliding knot,the post strand is held under tension while the loop strand is tied around it.Because the post strand is not incorporated into the struc

21、ture of the knot,the knot,once tied,can easily move down the post resulting in a sliding knot instead of a flat knot such as the square knot.Once the sliding knots are seated,they are often locked with a series of half hitches.Some sliding knots preferentially slide in only one direction23A locking

22、knot is a modification of a sliding knot A simple sliding knot can loosen before a series of half hitches are thrown to“lock”the sliding knot in placelocking knots(also known as flip knots)have been developed to maintain initial loop security that does not loosen when tension is removedThe post stra

23、nd“flips,”converting the loop strand into the new post strand and locking the knot into place.An example of a locking knot is the SMC knot.locking knots do not need to be supplemented with a series of half hitchesThe authors of this manual have found locking knots without reinforcing half hitches to

24、 be inferior in tensile strength to knots reinforced with three reversed half hitches on alternating posts(unpublished data)24Locking and sliding knots can be advanced into the joint just by pulling on the post.This can cause tension at the repair site,which can damage the tissue being apposed.Tensi

25、on at the repair site can be minimized by pushing the knot ahead with the knot pusher while simultaneously pulling on the post limb.With locking and sliding knots,it is important that the loop limb is at least twice as long as the post limb.If it is not,when pulling the post limb to advance the knot

26、 through the cannula and into the joint,the shortened loop limb may be pulled into the cannula making it impossible to secure the knot.When using a sliding or locking knot configuration,it is important to ensure that the suture slides easily through the tissue being opposed.If the suture does not sl

27、ide easily,the surgeon should consider using a nonsliding knot.25Knot Pushing and Pulling Knot configurations can be either pushed or pulled into the joint.he arthroscopic knot-tying device is positioned on the loop limb and is advanced past the half hitch thus pulling the loop over the post limb in

28、to the joint(Fig.7A).The arthroscopic knot-tying device is positioned on the post limb behind the knot thus pushing the loop over the post limb into the joint(Fig.7B).26FIGURE 7.A.Knot pulling,B.Knot pushing.27Tying Half Hitches Using the one hand knot-tying technique,half hitches can be tied either

29、 underhand or overhand The following instructions define an underhand loop and an overhand loop28FIGURE 8.A-E.Underhand half hitch.2930Configuration of Half Hitches Half hitches can be thrown in the same direction(two successive overhand hitches)or can be thrown in opposite directions(an overhand hi

30、tch followed by an underhand hitch)Half hitches can also be tied on opposite posts.Tera and Aberg(37)developed a nomenclature for describing flat knots.31Post SwitchingFIGURE 13.A.Parallel loop and post limbs.B.Parallel loop and post limbs with a“flat”knot.32FIGURE 14.A.Twisted loop and post limbs.B

31、.When tying a knot with twisted post and loop limbs,the knot does not lie“flat.”C.The final knot configuration will loosen if the knot is tied when the loop and post limbs are twisted.33 Chan and Burkhart described a may increase the speed of the knot-tying process and also help limit twisting of th

32、e suture limbs.One can“flip”a half hitch by releasing tension on the post limb and pulling on the loop limb.When the post is switched,the direction of the half hitch is also reversed.The authors of this technique report that it is easier to flip half hitches using monofilament because it more readil

33、y converts to a flat knot,but it can also be done with braided suture.34 Hold the post in the nondominant hand and the loop in the dominant hand(Fig.15A).Move the original post forward and ahead of the half hitch.Apply parallel traction on the post and loop simultaneously converting the half hitch t

34、o a flat knot(Fig.15B).Apply axial traction to the loop limb converting it into the new post limb and the half hitch is reversed(Fig.15C).35Post Switching Technique FIGURE 15.A-C.Post switching technique 36Arthroscopic Knot-Tying TechniquesIt is important to determine if the suture slides through th

35、e tissue and suture anchor prior to knot tying.If the suture does not readily slide,a sliding or locking knot should not be used and a nonsliding knot should be chosenOnly one pair of sutures should be within the working cannula during arthroscopic knot tying.If more than one pair of sutures are wit

36、hin the working cannula during tying,there is a high likelihood that the sutures will become twisted and knot tying will become quite tedious if not impossible.Additional sutures should be shuttled via a monofilament suture(less tissue abrasion)or by an arthroscopic grasper to an accessory portalTra

37、nsparent cannulas are recommended for arthroscopic knot tying.These cannulas allow the surgeon to see if there is any twisting of the suture strands prior to knot tying37The arthroscopic surgeon should ensure that there is no redundant soft tissue around the tissue being apposed or in the path of th

38、e suture limbs because this will impede knot tying and increase the likelihood of knot failureWhen tying half hitches with a standard single-hole knot pusher,the first throw commonly slips when the knot pusher is removed in preparation for the second throw When the second throw is advanced,there is

39、a chance that the hitches will lock prior to complete apposition of the tissueTo prevent this,the surgeon can throw the first two hitches in the same direction allowing the hitches to slide down the post to appose the tissue Another method of preventing initial loop loosening is to use a double-diam

40、eter knot-pushing device,such as the Arthrex 6th to maintain tension on the initial hitch while throwing the second hitch38Non-Sliding KnotsFIGURE 16.A-F.Square knot.39Revo Knot The Revo knot is a series of multiple half hitches made by alternating the post and direction of the half hitches.There ha
