Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Suture and Tape Show Similar Biomechanical Properties in Inside-Out Repair of Lateral Meniscus Tears in a Porcine Model

Purpose: To compare the stiffness, laxity, and failure rate of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suture to suture tape measuring 0.15 × 1 mm used in 2 vertical inside-out suture points for the treatment of longitudinal meniscal lesions. Methods: Twenty-eight porcine knees were select...
