The Achilles tendon enthesis (ATE) anchors the Achilles tendon into the calcaneus through fibrocartilaginous tissue. The latter is enriched in type II collagen and proteoglycans (PGs), both of which give the enthesis its capacity to withstand compressive stress. Because unloading and reloading induce remodeling of the ATE fibrocartilage (Camy et al.

- The study aimed to compare the biomechanical strength of a new suture technique (ST-knot) against a traditional method (double Kessler) for repairing tendon lacerations.
- Using 40 deep flexor tendons from pigs, researchers tested the force needed to create a 2mm gap in the repairs with both sutures, using different thread sizes.
- Results showed that the ST-knot was as effective as the double Kessler in terms of strength and stress, but it was simpler to perform, making it a potential option for complex tendon injuries.
