Background: This laboratory study compared pig, sheep and human deep flexor tendons in regards to their biomechanical comparability.
Methods: To investigate the relevant biomechanical properties for tendon repair experiments, the tendons resistance to cheese-wiring (suture drag/splitting) was assessed. Cheese-wiring of a suture through a tendon is an essential factor for repair gapping and failure in a tendon repair.
