Abstract
A biomechanical, time-zero comparison found that both No. 2-0 UltraBraid inside-out sutures and FasT-Fix 360 all-inside devices used to repair a displaced bucket handle knee meniscus tear increased the contact area in deeper flexion angles (at 45°-60°) and reduced the peak contact pressure (at 45°-90°). No significance difference was observed between the inside-out and all-inside repair techniques.
