The HU Knot: A New Sliding Knot for Arthroscopic Surgery
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Sliding knots are commonly used in arthroscopic knot tying. The Surgical knot as a hand‐tied knot is very secure. We found that the Surgical knot could be used as a sliding knot. We have modified the Surgical knot to include a self‐locking loop. A new sliding knot for arthroscopic surgery, the HU knot, is described. By tensioning the loop strand, the self‐locking loop creates a snug knot without sliding backward. The HU knot provides great security.
