Integral Suture‐Handling Techniques for Arthroscopic Sliding Knots
View through CrossRef
Abstract
In arthroscopic tissue repair, the final step is achieving adequate tissue approximation with a secure knot. The sliding knot is widely preferred over the nonsliding knot, with numerous publications describing knot configurations. However, in the literature there are few published descriptions of suture‐handling techniques, even though they are fundamental to arthroscopic knot tying. We describe integral suture‐handling techniques for arthroscopic sliding knots to improve the surgeon's performance in knot tying.
