Description
Sun and coauthors compare three ways to repair a torn knee root in the lab. The root anchors the knee cushion at its rear edge. Tears there raise joint wear and pain if left alone. Each repair style must hold firm under load.
They used 18 pig knees and 12 cow tendons for the tests. Groups got a pull-through fix, a tendon graft, or a graft plus suture. Machines pulled each repair through 1,000 load cycles. They then pulled till each repair failed. The graft plus suture style slipped the least. It also held stiff at high cycle counts.
