Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study is to compare the pull-through strength of transosseous braided tape suture with wire suture in proximal humeri bones (greater tuberosity). METHODS: A biomechanical study on eight cadaveric human specimens where two transosseous sutures were randomly applied on each specimen (anterior and posterior). Force/displacement curves were obtained for each specimen and the maximum pull-through load was noted. RESULTS: There is a significant difference in maximal pull-through strength favoring braided tape suture over wire suture. CONCLUSIONS: Transosseous braided tape suture provides almost twice the bone pull-through strength and is slightly correlated to volumetric bone mineral density.
