The authors report a case of acute compartment syndrome in the thigh in a 19-year-old man with multiple injuries including fracture of the femoral diaphysis. Decompressive fasciotomy was performed emergently. Complete progressive closure of the wound without split-thickness skin grafting was achieved using a modified shoelace technique: sutures were run inside wide drains placed in contact with the muscles and were then tightened over the skin. These drains enlarged the contact area between sutures and muscles, preventing damage to muscles.

A retrospective cohort study: dual cannula combined with modified shoelace continuous capsular closure technique versus nonrepair in hip arthroscopic surgery of femoroacetabular impingement.

Article Synopsis
- Hip arthroscopy is increasingly common for treating hip joint diseases, but there is debate on whether to close the joint capsule after the procedure, and the effects of this closure remain unclear.
- This study aims to assess the outcomes of a modified shoelace suture technique for hip capsule closure and its safety compared to non-closure in patients who underwent hip arthroscopy.
- After reviewing 100 patients, findings revealed that while surgical time was longer in the capsular closure group, there were no significant differences in hospital stay or patient-reported outcomes between the closure and non-closure groups after 12-15 months of follow-up.
Dual Cannula Combined With Modified Shoelace Continuous Capsular Closure Technique in Hip Arthroscopic Surgery.

The Technical Note aims to present an arthroscopic capsular closure technique at the end of the hip arthroscopy. The technology employs a dual-channel approach and modified shoelace suture technique to continuously suture the hip capsule. Recent studies have indicated that routine intraoperative repair of the articular capsule at the end of the hip arthroscopy is advocated.

Background: The biomechanical assessment of tendon repair is essential for the evaluation of different tendon suturing techniques. The shoelace suture technique with absorbable Vicryl® is a modified technique of Achilles tendon repair that may have biomechanical advantages depending on the number of threads used and the direction of the suture.
Purpose: To evaluate the creep under constant pre-load, the stiffness, the maximum strength, and the failure mode for three different configurations of the shoelace suture in a bovine tendon biomechanical model.
Background: Closure of large anterior abdominal wall defects, regardless of their etiology, is challenging. There is no standardized information describing definitive management. Therefore, we conducted this study to illustrate our experience on large midline abdominal wall defect repair using an effective modified reconstructive technique.

Article Synopsis
- The study showcases the "trick" knot technique for temporarily ligating the uterine artery during laparoscopic myomectomy, which is a modification of the "shoelace" knot method.
- The technique involves using a specially designed suture to create an easily reversible knot, ensuring quick and efficient blood vessel control during the procedure.
- The "trick" knot is simpler and faster to perform compared to the shoelace knot, making it a practical choice for surgeons who want to maintain fertility in patients while effectively managing bleeding.
