However, the magnitude of the tensile forces that actually occur on repaired lesions is not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate if tensile forces occur on repaired <jats:italic>lateral<\/jats:italic> meniscal lesions, which could exceed the failure strength of common repair techniques. In human knees (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 6), vertical\u2010longitudinal lesions 25\u00a0mm in length were created in the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus at a distance of 3\u00a0mm from the meniscosynovial junction and the popliteal hiatus. A braided steel wire, resembling a vertical suture, was inserted into the meniscal tissue and fitted with a force transducer. The knees were mounted in an apparatus, which simulated weight bearing and non\u2010weight bearing conditions. Repeated measurements were conducted with both internal and external rotation at flexion angles of 0\u00b0, 30\u00b0, 60\u00b0, 90\u00b0 and 120\u00b0. Weight loading alone caused no tension on the suture. Combined flexion and rotation generated mean forces between 0.5 and 4.1\u00a0N. No significant effect of the flexion angle or direction of rotation was found. If a minimum strength of 10\u00a0N was assumed for the common meniscal repair techniques, the tensile forces were well below this limit under all circumstances (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). These data indicate that, within the range of motion investigated, no significant tensile forces occur on longitudinal lateral lesions. Forces other than tension and biological factors are of greater importance for the healing. Therefore, the assessment of repair techniques should not be based on alone the ability to resist high distraction forces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-009-0875-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,23]],"date-time":"2009-07-23T09:34:10Z","timestamp":1248341650000},"page":"1354-1359","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Tensile forces on sutures in the human lateral knee meniscus"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Christian","family":"Staerke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Otto\u2010von\u2010Guericke University Magdeburg Leipziger Strasse 44 39120 Magdeburg Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olaf","family":"Brettschneider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"German Heart Institute Berlin Berlin Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karl\u2010Heinz","family":"Gr\u00f6bel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Mechanics Otto\u2010von\u2010Guericke Magdeburg Magdeburg Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roland","family":"Becker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery City Hospital Brandenburg Brandenburg Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2005.03.036"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001670100247"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jars.2000.4819"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jars.2001.19975"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546506290667"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546505278254"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1243\/EMED_JOUR_1982_011_019_02"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0268\u20100033(03)00057\u20103"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-199003000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.blo.0000062384.79828.3b"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1115\/1.2798282"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167\u2010003\u20100366\u20107"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447\u201020080401\u201032"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0021\u20109290(82)90073\u20102"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198264020-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00266320"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301\u2010620X.79B6.7701"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.knee.2004.12.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465030310063101"}],"container-title":["Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-009-0875-0.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00167-009-0875-0\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00167-009-0875-0","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,19]],"date-time":"2025-10-19T10:05:35Z","timestamp":1760868335000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/esskajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s00167-009-0875-0"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,24]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s00167-009-0875-0"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00167-009-0875-0","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0942-2056","1433-7347"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0942-2056","type":"print"},{"value":"1433-7347","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,24]]}}}
