Tensile loads required to create a 1- and 3-mm gap, yield, peak and failure loads, and mode of failure were analysed.

Occurrence of 3-mm gap formation was significantly less in the 3LP\u2009+\u2009IHMES group (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.013). Mode of failure was significantly different between the groups (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) with 3LP\u2009+\u2009IMHES patterns failing by suture breakage (13\/14) compared with suture pull-through in the 3LP (11\/14).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Addition of an epitendinous suture pattern significantly reduced gap formation between tendon ends and significantly increased loads at yield (1.8\u2009\u00d7\u2009), peak (2.0\u2009\u00d7\u2009) and failure (2.0\u2009\u00d7\u2009) force of repairs. Use of an epitendinous suture should be considered to significantly increase biomechanical strength of repairs; however, further in vivo testing is necessary to evaluate its effect on tendinous blood supply.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1702141","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,31]],"date-time":"2020-03-31T23:38:10Z","timestamp":1585697890000},"page":"205-211","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Influence of Interlocking Horizontal Mattress Epitendinous Suture Placement on Tendinous Biomechanical Properties in a Canine Common Calcaneal Laceration Model"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Christina J.","family":"Cocca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3043-8877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel J.","family":"Duffy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariana E.","family":"Kersh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George E.","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Administration, College of Veterinary Medicine, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,31]]},"container-title":["Veterinary and Comparative Orthopaedics and Traumatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0040-1702141.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,21]],"date-time":"2020-05-21T22:32:35Z","timestamp":1590100355000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0040-1702141"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,31]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,21]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0040-1702141","relation":{},"ISSN":["0932-0814","2567-6911"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0932-0814","type":"print"},{"value":"2567-6911","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,31]]}}}
