The modified tension slide technique (MTST) was developed in order to provide the surgeon with a technically simpler and biomechanically more effective way to reduce gap formation and consistently seat\/bottom-out the tendon within the bone tunnel through a more direct line of pull. In order to compare the biomechanics of the MTST to the TST, we used 24 matched bovine extensor tendons, and conducted maximal load to failure and cyclical load to failure testing using an Instron 5566 machine. The mean maximal load to failure for the MTST was 444\u2009N versus 229\u2009N for the TST (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>&lt;0.004) while no gap formation was observed in either group after cyclic load testing. These findings indicate that the MTST has a statistically significant increased load to gap formation of \u223c2-fold in comparison to TST. In the MTST both limbs of suture are passed back through the tendon, before button implantation, eliminating the \u201coperating in a hole\u201d effect required in the TST, and making for a simpler surgical procedure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/bth.0000000000000376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,19]],"date-time":"2021-12-19T23:00:10Z","timestamp":1639954810000},"page":"152-156","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Single
